HCL-Healthcare Logistics
The healthcare industry is unlike any other. Today, healthcare companies are faced with some of the most stringent regulatory and legal issues in business. Add to that the special transportation requirements — clean and temperature-controlled environments, management of hazardous materials, or returns management programs.
As healthcare companies pour millions into research and development, product integrity is the lifeblood of all healthcare companies. The spotlight, it seems, is squarely on logistics — both in how to keep products safe while in the pipeline and how to add cost savings to thin bottom lines.
More then ever, a healthcare company's logistics provider must become a partner, in every sense of the word, if it is to succeed and to maintain public safety. There's a distinct competitive advantage when a company knows that its products — some perhaps dangerous or perishable or tantalizing (like controlled substances) — are being managed in a secure, expeditious manner.
To the industry's credit, logistics strategies have been positioned as a top priority to meet many of these critical demands. These include ensuring “cold chain” product integrity, establishing hyper-strict industry standards of care for healthcare logistics and transportation, and developing real-time information systems. In pharmaceuticals, managing perishable products with high theft rates and maintaining temperature control throughout the transportation process are fundamental. Create a “customizable, solutions-oriented approach” for organizations that provide disaster relief and make everything from pacemakers to x-ray machines AML is listening to these healthcare organizations and providing global solutions.
