Healthcare Supply Chain Management (GBSH0025)

In this module, you will learn about the various aspects of healthcare supply chain management including obtaining resources, managing supplies and the delivery of goods and services to providers and patients.  You will also learn about the core elements of planning, sourcing, making and delivering healthcare products. How production takes place can differ between organisations and you will come to understand how these processes can either create strategic advantage or the inability to effectively compete. You will come to appreciate the various stakeholders involved in the process of producing medical products and services such as manufacturers, insurance companies, hospitals, providers, group purchasing organisations and regulatory agencies.  You will learn about upstream and downstream relationships with suppliers and customers to deliver products and services.  You will come to understand the role of regulatory agencies and how they can differ depending on the health system delivery model.  The complexity of healthcare supply chain management (which involves, public, private, non-profit and national and international agencies) will be illustrated throughout.  You will also explore in this module how innovations in digital technologies are changing the supply chain landscape globally
