Hospital uses a series of sourcing processes to capture supply data and knowledge to build a dynamic supplier base, thereby ensuring continuous improvement of the entire supply chain. Strategies are developed by a thorough understanding of the external supplier environment and internal business partner requirements. Purchasing teams will apply supply chain management business practices to both strategic sourcing and individual purchases and examine demand trends, the marketplace, and the supplier community to determine how to achieve best value. Hospital continuously assess the marketplace for drivers of market segments, industry trends, impact of new technology, competitive dynamics, supplier characteristics, and suppliers (national or regional) in a market. Hospital analyzes the sourcing history of a product or service to determine the level of competition, prices, and performance results of existing suppliers to determine if a new supplier would better meet clinical supply or facility service needs.
