Geisinger Health System of Danville, Pa., is making its supply chain more patient-centric. The organization is reorganizing and retraining staff to be more visible to and supportive of front-line care providers, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.
Geisinger rewrote the job descriptions of everyone working in materials management and other supply chain functions — including laundry, patient transport, and mail delivery — to move supply chain management to the forefront of care.
The reorganization is one example of changes happening in hospitals around the country that aim to improve patient care through supply chain redesign.
New FDA regulations affecting medical devices and pharmaceuticals put patient safety at the forefront of healthcare supply chains.
