By Staff -- Logistics Management, 6/1/1999

UPS Worldwide Logistics Healthcare Services Group has developed an online assessment tool that provides integrated delivery networks (IDNs) with a customized analysis of their distribution costs as well as areas of potential savings. Organizations may enter information about hospital size, distribution services used, inventory levels, fill rates, and distribution fees. The program then evaluates the current materials-management cost structure. The complimentary tool, which is designed for IDNs with four or more acute-care facilities and their associated care facilities, is available at www.wwlog.com/healthcare.
