Persisting Challenges Affect Supply Chains

COVID-19 challenges persist, as do supply chain interruptions. Materials management leaders across the healthcare landscape continue to seek solutions to sourcing, inventory management, and value-added technologies in order to secure access to needed supplies for caregivers and patients.

Hospital leaders are collaborating to pool resources and backstop materials that are in short supply. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear that supply chain issues will subside soon, and disruptions will likely continue to impact the availability of medical supplies going forward.
