Effective materials management is critical for supporting excellence in patient care for hospitals and health systems nationwide. When supply chain disruptions negatively impact inventory, costs can escalate, interfering with delivery of care.
Hospitals and health systems that often experience gaps in materials management may be missing the critical relationships and expertise needed to maximize their supply chain programs. Outsourcing to a trusted materials management partner like CPS Supply Chain Solutions can drive savings and inventory stability.
