US Healthcare Supply Chain Predictions for 2020
Maximum bankruptcies in US hospitals
The US healthcare sector is set to witness over 100 individual facility bankruptcies in the coming year. Many organizations are in crisis and require funding to ensure sustainability. The growing number of IDNs in crowded market spaces are further adding to the woes of companies. Consolidation is one of the options that organizations can explore to prevent facilities from shutting down.

Use of blockchain
The US Food and Drug Administration has selected four tier 1 companies to support US Drug Supply Chain Security Act. These companies will develop an electronic interoperable system to trace certain prescription drugs. A shared blockchain network will be created by each company to allow real-time monitoring of products. The shared blockchain network is thus expected to increase supply chain transparency and improve inventory management.
