The emerging megatrends in healthcare and continuing digital transformation of the healthcare sector worldwide has opened up new opportunities to improve healthcare delivery as well as financial, organisational and health outcomes from many perspectives. In the context of global supply chains, the convergence of supply chain technologies, data analytics and availability of vast amounts of digital data from devices and software tools have made possible both the adaptation of people–process–technology strategies to new healthcare delivery requirements, but have also accelerated operational efficiencies in care delivery and improved access to quality healthcare and actionable data. Integrating and streamlining healthcare supply chains with internet of things (IoT) devices and sensors and leveraging the resulting data for advanced analytics at the point of decision making has the potential to provide healthcare professionals with actionable insights for planning and strategic decision-making, for both operational improvements and better care delivery. This chapter draws on an illustrative example from healthcare delivery to highlight some opportunities with analytics in patient safety initiatives and implications for healthcare supply chains.
