[영문]The healthcare supply chain is a vast, disintegrated network of products and players, loosely held together by manual and people-intensive processes. Managing the flow of information, supplies, equipment, and services from manufacturers to distributors to care providers is especially difficult, compared with more technology-intense industries like consumer goods or industrial manufacturing. As supplies move downstream toward hospitals and clinics, the quality and robustness of accompanying management and information systems used to manage these products deteriorates significantly. Technology that provides advanced planning, synchronization, and collaboration upstream at the large supply manufacturers and distributors rarely is used at even the world?s larger and more sophisticated hospitals. This article outlines current healthcare supply chain management technologies, addresses potential reasons for lack of technology and provides a roadmap for future technology
