Achieve Future-State Supply
Chain Planning With ERP
By bringing together data from ERP and electronic health records (EHRs), organizations can build a future-state supply chain that prepares for anticipated changes and allows leaders to plan to meet needs proactively.
What should future-state
supply-demand planning look like?
MODEL DEMAND
Create scenarios to model anticipated changes in demand by type, provider, and location.
While data is used differently across clinical and nonclinical teams, predictive dashboards can help all employees get meaningful insights when and where they need them.
What information should an
optimized ERP platform provide?
The supply chain is experiencing more disruption than ever. Huron’s approach to enterprise resource planning (ERP) helps healthcare organizations
get ahead of the disruption by providing a better understanding of supply and demand to align the necessary resources using traditional trending and advanced machine-learning prediction models.
By providing insights in a single integrated platform, healthcare leaders have a clear picture of organizational needs and are positioned to make data-driven decisions that ensure critical supplies, resources, and space are available when patients need care most.
