The supply chain ensures that the technology of care is available to the health care professional at the right time, at the right place and in sufficient quantity and quality for superior health outcomes for patients within the health system.

Presents the findings and recommendations of a task force that conducted a study of the opportunities for standardization and improved efficiencies that could lead to reduced materials management and procurement costs for Ontario hospitals. The study had three phases: a survey to assess the procurement, inventory management, and internal and external distribution practices of Ontario hospitals; a review of the state of the art of alternative inventory management and distribution systems within the private and public sectors, and assessment of their applicability to Ontario hospitals; and formulation of options for improvement, based on information from the first two phases. Best practices for materials management found at hospitals and other institutions are reviewed and benefits of improved practices are evaluated with regard to group purchasing, information systems, inventory systems, vendor rationalization, and shared facilities.
