Total possible = 5.0 points
Demonstrate that you have a supply chain specific Business Continuity Plan (BCP). The quality of the BCP will not be evaluated in 2024, but may be in future years. The BCP may be enterprise or departmental — as long as it covers supply chain activities (e.g. supply disruption, supply shortage crisis response, warehouse disaster, ERP outage).
An end-to-end strategy that ensures continuous alignment of risk activities (which includes building resilience) is essential for management of disruptions to supply chain operations. Resiliency is essential to engaged, accountable, and leading Providers.
HIRC is the pre-eminent non-profit consortium for patient-centric healthcare supply chain resiliency standards and best practices.
