Canada’s healthcare system is both complex and interdependent where hospitals, provincial agencies, long term healthcare, public health and primary care all play a critical role. A significant continuing issue is the lack of integration across the system, which ultimately impacts the patients. A leading supply chain system can contribute to healthcare innovation, look out for technological changes, lower healthcare costs, and improve patient outcomes. This session addresses key issues such as cost reduction, supply chain operations, managing supplier risks and supplier relations, data driven supply chains and more.
