Whether you are a buyer in the purchasing department of an individual hospital or part of an Integrated Delivery Network (IDN), you will likely want knowledgeable equipment specialists who understand the need for medical facility logistics and customized delivery requirements.
In this regard, the World Health Organization (WHO) offers some tips for IDNs that may assist you when making decisions about equipment and supplies deliveries that will not conflict with patient care scheduling.
The current economic climate in healthcare is causing some health systems to cut back when handling equipment delivery and warehousing. IDNs and large systems are asking the distributors and vendors to take on more of their logistics needs.
Instead of bringing large items into a central warehouse, health systems are leaning more toward direct-to-site (DTS) delivery. While this serves to reduce their warehousing and personnel costs, fine-tuning the processes involved is extremely important.

Social distancing protocols have been enforced to control and limit the spread of COVID-19. For frontline healthcare workers, social distancing isn't an option. Providing direct, immediate care to their patients cannot be avoided, and as the need for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and ventilators continue to grow, so do the concerns for healthcare providers' safety. The safer caregivers can interact with patients, the more quality care they are able to provide.
