With such a substantial investment, the need for efficient inventory management is paramount. Moreover, a recent analysis reveals that by effectively reducing variation and waste in healthcare supply chains, individual hospitals could potentially save up to $11 million annually. This underscores the significant financial impact of implementing streamlined inventory control strategies.
