For Hospitals and other healthcare providers, Logistics is one of the most critical support functions, as it provides continuity of operations by making pharmaceuticals, implants, chemicals and medical devices available.
Professionals in Operating Theatres, Intensive Care Units, Labs and wards rely on the availability of the right materials at the right time to keep tempo in healthcare activities, thus reducing waiting times and improving assets utilization.
From an economic perspective, efficiency of supply chain processes is a key driver in balancing costs and compensation in tightly regulated, DRG-based healthcare systems. Careful design and optimization of supply and materials handling processes and systems provides hospital managers with additional levers to control the economic results of their operations.
Effective integration of automated material handling systems, pharmacy robots, software and AGVs in the Hospital logistics systems improves the speed of operation, flexibility, traceability, and safety for the patients.
