Health Care Matters: Supply Chains In and Of the Health Sector
探讨医疗保健供应链研究，将其分为医疗保健中的供应链和医疗保健的供应链两类，为未来研究设定议程，对学者和实践者均有价值。
Providing health care involves a complex enterprise, and the trade‐off between quality and cost has been particularly stark compared to other industries. However, a recent focus on health sector supply networks is now producing significant innovations and improvements. This Special Topic Forum illustrates for the academic and practitioner community how health care supply chain research can benefit from our evolving understanding of supply chains and help push that understanding even further. We classify health care supply chain research into two broad categories—supply chain in health care and supply chain of health care—to set an agenda for future research.
