The Healthcare Supply Chain Is at Risk
Hostilities in numerous countries coupled with sanctions against various nation states worldwide have coincided with supply chain interruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, to trigger the ‘perfect storm’ for all industries, particularly the healthcare sector. The need to deploy software tools, policies, guidelines, and procedures with which to:
- investigate, negotiate, update, and document vendor and sub-contractor contracts;
- transform the supply chain;
- procure components from new vendors; and, many other activities, highlights the critical need for the healthcare industry to establish the following efficient and cost-effective practices:
- risk identification;
- risk analysis and rating;
- risk categorization and quantification;
- risk tracking; ¤ risk cost estimation;
- risk remediation strategies and tactics; and,
- regulatory requirements reporting.
