Consolidated Service Center research report available

Sept. 7, 2021

Jamie C. Kowalski Consulting, LLC and PerformanSC Supply Chain Ltd  have published the findings of the 2021 edition of their ground-breaking research, compiled from direct input from health system supply chain leaders.

This research charts the development of healthcare supply chains, particularly from providers that use a Consolidated Service Center (CSC) model for their supply chain and other support services.

The researchers are independent consultants, who have tracked the development of Health System supply chains since 2012. Previous reports in the series were completed and published in 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2018.

The challenging demand and supply conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020, provided a significant test for health systems globally.

The research provides direct insights into health system supply chain performance, both internally and that of key partners. It provides specific learnings on the challenges faced during the pandemic, and the implications on future decisions on supply chain design, sourcing and risk management. The research continues to chart the development of the scope of services, products and technology within CSC run health systems.

All provider organizations that completed the survey receive a copy of the report, which details the findings.
