What is Healthcare Transportation?
Healthcare Transportation, or Intra-Company Logistics is a calculated method for organizing the movement of physical materials to achieve greater operational efficiencies, more effectively utilize scale, eliminate redundancies and centralize services.
The Value of A Healthcare Transportation Network
Healthcare and Laboratory Transportation can be one of two things: A low value, commodity function with the sole purpose to simply courier materials between facilities or a strategic and competitive intra-company logistics asset that can be leveraged to provide value and savings.
DEFINED PROCESS: Working with MedSpeed
