Key Takeaway
- Patient-centric analytics and shared data from your digital supply network can lead to more accurate demand forecasts.
TraceLink’s Roddy Martin explains how patient-centric analytics can help you make better inventory decisions.

In the healthcare supply chain, where we don’t have good demand forecast accuracy because of privacy issues around patient data, we’re making product and putting it at the wrong place at the wrong time. And obviously, then it can’t meet patient demands.
So, one of the big focus areas is to use this outside-in, patient-centric utilization of analytics, the utilization of IoT data, interpreting patient and demand data, to feed back into the planning session, to put the right amount of product at the right place at the right time.
