Global Health Exchange released its annual list of the 50 best healthcare supply chains in North America March 8.
The 2021 list recognizes hospitals and health systems that demonstrated improved operational performance in supply chain automation. The 2021 recipients will be honored at the 22nd annual GHX Summit May 9-12 in Hollywood, Fla.
To create the list, GHX, a healthcare business and data automation company, analyzed the performance of more than 4,100 hospitals in the U.S. and Canada that are part of its digital trading network. The list scored several areas, including maximizing automation and increasing exchange utilization and trading partner connections.
