- Abstract
This paper demonstrates the need for a complete analysis and review of core competencies (assessment/measurement) within the field and study of healthcare administration (HCAD). We use healthcare logistics and supply chain management (HLSCM) curriculum concepts to fully explain identified gaps between academia and industry. Previous theoretical frameworks and elements that encompass such frameworks have fundamental analytical and objective flaws within their development and their assessment/measurement periods of evaluation or lack of evaluation. In all elements of HLSCM, time continues to be an ever constraining factor towards robust operations in which the dynamics of data and information grow at exponential rates creating massive gaps that have yet to be serviced within the organization. However, external consultants and third-party logistics (3PL) have long understood the inefficiencies within the local HLSCM and have been able to create a cultural dependence on the services provided their customer base (patient-center care). This relationship has been communicated to be mutualistic; however, new federal and state policies have pressured partnered entities to reexamine their relationships. This has been done by both internal and external review of previous policies and processes while many restructure into Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs). The healthcare industry understands both the supply and demand end of operationalizing care and the potential liabilities that a lack of big data analysis through enterprising business intelligence systems places on their organization.
