These items are very costly to hospitals, and also account for a large percentage of hospital revenues and earnings. 3 Thus, management of device and supply choices is central to the hospital’s supply-chain efficiency and financial well being. 3…

However, on the other hand, spending too much on and maintaining too much inventory can hurt the healthcare organization financially. Often many supplies of the inventory have expiration dates, and if it is not used within the operation cycle, it can go to waste causing the organization to lose money. Also, another negative aspect to having too much…
Currently, the military health system is comprised of health care, education, public health, civilian medical partnerships, and research and development.
