“…Undirected arcs connect these units, which means the multiple Second, the wide-ranging identification of practices and performance metrics achieved in the literature review, which gave rise to the proposed framework, likely allows to delineate a clear path toward empirical validation and the managerial implications of practice implementation and performance measurement. While a considerable number of frameworks provide valuable insights on interactions in sustainable supply chain management [40], healthcare supply chain management in the emerging economy with the sustainable lenses [121], and supply chain sustainability in the service industry [122], the degree of operationalization of the categories and exemplified relations presented in this case has not been detected in previous reviews.…”

Sustainable Supply Chain Management Practices and Sustainable Performance in Hospitals: A Systematic Review and Integrative Framework

2019

Hospital supply chains are responsible for several economic inefficiencies, negative environmental impacts, and social concerns. However, a lack of research on sustainable supply chain management specific to this sector is identified. Existing studies do not analyze supply chain management practices in an integrated and detailed manner, and do not consider all sustainable performance dimensions. To address these gaps, this paper presents a systematic literature review and develops a framework for identifying the supply chain management practices that may contribute to sustainable performance in hospitals. The proposed framework is composed of 12 categories of management practices, which include strategic management and leadership, supplier management, purchasing, warehousing and inventory, transportation and distribution, information and technology, energy, water, food, hospital design, waste, and customer relationship management. On the other side, performance categories include economic, environmental, and social factors. Moreover, illustrative effects of practices on performance are discussed. The novelty of this document lies in its focus on hospital settings, as well as on its comprehensiveness regarding the operationalization of practices and performance dimensions. In addition, a future research agenda is provided, which emphasizes the need for improved research generalizability, empirical validation, integrative addressing, and deeper analysis of relationships between practices and performance.

“…The collaborative consumption or the sharing economy is based on peer-to-peer actions through 'borrowing, renting, gifting, swapping and buying' in order to gain the services or products (Roos & Hahn, 2017, p.113;Hamari et al, 2016). Compared to the linear and individual consumptions, the sharing economy brings the consumption behaviour to a virtual circle, for instance, decrease over-consumption rate and environmental pollution issues (Lyons et al 2018), and help the poverty by reducing the cost of transactions (Heinrichs, 2013;Scavarda et al 2019).…”

“…The focus was on proposals for solutions to improve operational efficiency in logistical processes in order to avoid material shortages, reduce waste, and optimize procedures. The solutions proposed might generate more financial and organizational outcomes, in addition to improving service to the local population, which is broadly used and proven effective in healthcare contexts [ 50 , 51 , 52 ].…”

Lessons from a Surgical Center Satellite Warehouse in a Large Brazilian Public Hospital

et al. 2021

Brazilian public hospitals face several operational problems not only related to poor public management practices and their complex nature, but also the economic, and social contexts. Considering this scenario and the fact that efforts in supply management might affect a hospital organization’s excellence, this research aims to identify improvements in the logistic operations at the surgical center satellite warehouse of a Public Hospital located in Brazil. A case study based on an exploratory and qualitative approach was conducted by employing document analysis, semi-structured interviews, and on-site observations. Seven major problems concerning lack of surgical material, the non-definition of crucial logistic parameters, low information flow, surgical supply control, and management problems were pointed and addressed by seven independent but complementary actions that considered the Brazilian healthcare system’s particularities. Given the nature of exploratory research, the results are not exhaustive and cannot be generalized to different contexts. However, they help understand that reducing the waste of the logistics processes makes it possible to improve the attention to the local population that uses public health services.
