Understanding Healthcare Distribution

The COVID-19 pandemic has led policymakers, media, and others to want to better understand the healthcare supply chain. HIDA has developed new resources to provide a high-level overview of the supply chain and the important role of distributors within it.

Healthcare Distribution Overview Presentation

Help your team, your trading partners, and other stakeholders understand:

  • Important reasons that healthcare providers rely on distributors for their supplies
  • Differences in distribution by provider segment
  • The critical role distributors play in crisis response
  • Distributors’ response to the COVID-19 pandemic
  • Impact of the pandemic on both supply and demand
  • The differences between healthcare distributors and opportunistic brokers
