'Introduction to Electronic Supply Chain in Healthcare' Workshop

An efficient supply chain relies heavily on accurate and up-to-date medical products, medicines and consumables information being available to purchasers and the ability to order products in a standardised, well-organised manner. Inefficient data management in the healthcare supply chain may impact patient safety and increase costs. Automating the supply chain processes in health enables suppliers and healthcare organisations to reduce redundant purchasing tasks, improve inefficient work practices and achieve greater accuracy in tendering and procurement.
After this Workshop, you will know how the electronic Healthcare Supply Chain can deliver the right products, at the right price, for the right person, in the right location at the right time. In the Workshop we will:
● Explore how Electronic Supply Chain solves procurement and quality problems in healthcare
● Overview Australian Electronic Supply Chain initiatives: National Product Catalogue, eProcurement, Locatenet and Recallnet
● Identify planning requirements for an Electronic Supply Chain Program
● Overview and Select effective operational protocols, procedures and change management activities
