As we approach the winter flu season, the added pressure of the rising numbers of COVID-19 cases poses a challenge for global healthcare supply chains. Healthcare suppliers and providers need to minimise the risk of repeating the PPE shortages at the beginning of the pandemic. To do this, many are turning to data, automation and AI to ensure they are adequately prepared for any spikes in demand.

While COVID-19 highlighted fissures in the global healthcare supply chain, it also underscored the importance of the supply chain in driving healthcare’s digital transformation. As healthcare forges a path to financial recovery and improved patient care delivered at lower cost, expect to see a focus on building more resilient supply chains through greater levels of collaboration among stakeholders and the adoption of cloud-based technologies and data automation.

The COVID-19 crisis has been a huge challenge to the global healthcare industry in many different ways, but it has also been the spark to re-evaluate previously accepted practices and processes and innovate across the sector.
