• Manage Inventory Effectively: Proper SCM enables healthcare organizations to keep track of inventory levels, anticipate demand, and maintain optimal stock levels, avoiding stockouts or excessive stockpiling.
• Ensure Regulatory Compliance: With stringent regulations governing the healthcare industry, SCM helps healthcare providers adhere to compliance standards, ensuring patient safety and minimizing legal risks.
