Achieving Supply Chain Efficiencies Through Our Distributor's Vertical Integration Model

The University of Missouri is one of only a handful of academic health care organizations across the country that has a centralized, full service supply chain team that supports both its academic institutions and its health system.

The University of Missouri System Supply Chain (UM System) sought a new distribution partner that could help maximize the economics of its academic institutions and health system while also optimizing the student experience and supporting the highest quality patient care. To accomplish this goal, the UM System selected Medline, which has a vertically integrated business model.

In this case study, you'll hear how UM System has begun to see results such as:

• Greater cost savings
• Reduced waste
• Improved labor efficiency
• Improved patient care
