New Survey Results on Impact of COVID-19 on Provider Supply Chains

Advisory Board surveyed 70 professionals in supply chain, financial, and operations roles in US-based healthcare systems. The main goal of the study was to understand how healthcare systems adapted to supply chain challenges resulting from COVID-19.
