Distribution Choices - Which Way to Turn
The medical/surgical distribution playing field has been undergoing some significant changes them. The choice of national distributors has been narrowed to three. The smaller ones and some regional operations have been swallowed up by the larger. In many cases the remaining regional options are struggling. Choices are limited. But are they? More hospital systems are reviewing options to the traditional approach. Some are actually proceeding with the implementation of new model such as self-distribution and the use of 3PL operations. But these are not suited for everyone. Listen as we explained both types and their positives and negatives. Understand the concept of a true integrated service center, how it can lower costs for a hospital system in many areas and whether it is right for your organization.
