Q1) What is the healthcare supply chain?
The healthcare supply chain includes the companies that produce, distribute and dispense medications other health products to the patient or consumer. The shear number of healthcare products, different manufacturers and retail locations, in addition to government regulations, security and special product conditions, means that healthcare product delivery is often more efficiently handled by distributors who specialize in the logistics of moving large volumes of products safely and efficiently.
In September of 2007, the HDMA Research & Education Foundation changed it’s name to the Center for Healthcare Supply Chain Research. Please click here for more background on the Center.
The Center serves as the 501 (c)(3) charitable research partner of HDMA. Although two separate organizations, the Center often collaborates on industry initiatives with the association.

It provides industry information for these organizations, as well as consultants, analysts, academia and others.
