ABSTRACT
Quality and safety in healthcare have emerged as key factors impacting on both clinical effectiveness and clinical outcomes. While improving the healthcare supply chain has been extensively researched, the impact of the healthcare supply chain on clinical safety has received little attention in the literature, largely due to the complexity of such studies and the involvement of multiple stakeholders. This research proposes an evaluation model using key performance measurements for an electronic procurement system that enables digital transformation of the healthcare supply chain. The model will be tested before and after the introduction of an electronic procurement system in the healthcare supply chain for small and medium sized healthcare providers to provide evidence of both the usefulness of the model itself within industry and to further contribute to the knowledge base. Future use of the model may provide benchmarking and important data and insights to enable enhanced clinical safety in the healthcare supply chain.
