Did you know that threats to the supply chain rank high on vulnerability assessments — both for daily operations and emergency situations?
Supply chain integrity is vital to patient care and employee safety. It guarantees the timely availability of high-quality medical supplies, medications and equipment essential for effective patient care. A dependable supply chain also ensures that health care workers have consistent access to necessary protective gear, reducing the risk of infection and maintaining a safe work environment. By safeguarding against disruptions and ensuring the continuous flow of critical resources, supply chain integrity enhances the overall quality of health care services provided.
