Unburden extramural care with smart logistics (Ontzorgen met slimme logistiek)

Description

The value of logistics manifests itself mainly in its role as facilitator for all kinds of economic sectors and thereby contributes to the well-being of our society. One of those sectors, the healthcare sector, is in need of logistics innovations to support its transition towards more extramural care and cure services. People increasingly receive care at home and in extramural care institutions, and progressively gain control over the care they need. Without a good logistics system, however, the healthcare sector won’t be able to deliver the right care and cure, and will become too expensive to take care of the future generations at the required quality level. In addition, healthcare organizations are faced with shortages of care professionals, further highlighting the need to organize non-care related work as efficiently as possible. The multitude of organizations supplying specific healthcare products and services need to be innovative to meet the increasingly complex demands of individual clients, rather than those of the large-scale healthcare institutions’ as they are used to now. In terms of logistics, this means not simply doing things more efficiently, but also smarter, more creatively and more sustainable. The transition in the healthcare sector shows strong resemblance with recent changes in the retail landscape. This proposal connects knowledge institutions, SMEs and professionals in healthcare and logistics, and links to TKI Logistics, TKI Life Sciences & Health and relevant NWA routes. The proposal contributes to the Cross Chain Collaboration Centers (4C) of TKI Logistics, striving to strengthen the Dutch position in supply chain management and chain configuration in the healthcare sector. It proposes and examines how new logistics concepts can support the transition in healthcare, and identifies how logistics can be organized more efficiently and sustainably within and between healthcare actors.
