As the healthcare industry continues to evolve, growing awareness from stakeholders, medical professionals, and consumers has led to an increased emphasis on ethical sourcing and procurement across the healthcare supply chain. A recent article from SupplyChainBrain highlights some of these changes, noting a focus on human rights and sustainability in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. For today’s healthcare supply chain professionals to meet the standards of the facilities they supply, considerations must go beyond cost and quality to include ethical sourcing, responsible business practices, and environmental concerns. When these considerations are not taken into account, healthcare facilities report reduced morale, damages reputation, and undermines the mission of healthcare companies to provide safe, conscientious care.
