Description
- Activities
- Proposer intends to establish a healthcare supply chain data engineering center? (at lincoln memorial university (LMU) school of engineering located in east tennessee). The two primary activities proposed are the creation of an open-source distribution (OSD) project and educational opportunities (for businesses and initially focused on people of appalachia) via standardization and modernization through creation of a multi-disciplinary center with an emphasis on healthcare, economics, supply chain, and computer science.
- Expected outcomes
- The center?s work product will be the development and promulgation of an open-source software platform with uniform access to all stakeholders involved in the medical device supply chain (mdsc). The proposer intends to establish a healthcare supply chain data engineering center (at LMU school of engineering). Outcomes and impacts proposed include addressing antiquated and fragmented systems in place; making transparent (current hidden costs and lack of transparency) financial bottom lines and true cost of distribution of medical products (e.g., devices); supply chain vulnerabilities and inhibited competition; and addressing administrative burdens and inefficiencies.
- Intended beneficiaries
- This center intends to leverage modern technology and best practices to create a robust, transparent, and efficient supply chain solution that meets the evolving needs of healthcare providers, suppliers, and logistics partners. Addressing present-day hidden costs - and given the lack of transparency with the mdsc - IT is expected that hospitals and group purchasing organizations will be in a better position to negotiate supply chain product prices. Furthermore, nearly all stakeholders in the supply chain will benefit from tracking, and (presumably) ensure transparency, security, and immutability.eastern tennessee and people from appalachia will benefit from availability of a freely available laboratory, educational, and template resources as LMU school of engineering would serve as a hub for developing and implementing OSD.
