There are no two opinions in the fact that supply chain management has been on its spree to popularise especially with its new trends. With new technologies like blockchain being incorporated into supply chain management, new and more interesting opportunities can be generated. The better tracking and tracing of medical equipment and drugs is accomplished, the more improvement can be accomplished in healthcare.
Improvements with blockchain:
Blockchain helps to keep the track of products in supply chain management in a more efficient manner. It helps to record and keep track of the data like price, date, location, quality, certification, etc, as long as a product stays in the supply chain. The more efficient data recording is, the more transparency is maintained and the losses via the gray market can be cut off. This also reduces hoarding of medicines and ensures that drugs can be afforded and made available to every section of the society.
Benefits:
Blockchain adds a lot of value to supply chain management, reduces the cost paid on several services, and encompasses some primary and secondary benefits. Its primary benefits include improved corporate standards, better visibility and compliance, and lesser paperwork. Its secondary benefits include a lesser risk of the effects of supply chain malpractice. Since tracking and tracing are done efficiently, the quality of medical equipment is ensured and hence the quality of healthcare.
Conclusion:
Blockchain amalgamated with supply chain management has the potential to improve the quality of healthcare. It also helps to reduce the risk of malpractices in supply chain management and helps to maintain transparency. It reduces hoarding of medicines and makes sure they are made available to every section of the society.
