Transforming Healthcare – The Power of Collaboration, from Production to Patient. An introduction to the Healthcare Chain Institute (HCI)

In collaboration with SME Connect

Join us

for the inaugural webinar of the Healthcare Chain Institute (HCI) on 5 September at 4 PM CEST (60 MIN). We will discuss the critical importance of collaboration across the healthcare value chain, the evolving needs of patients, and the role of all stakeholders – from production to patient care – in accelerating medicine supply and access.

Today’s healthcare value chain faces unprecedented stress. Supply chains for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API), prescription drugs (Rx), generic drugs (Gx), over-the-counter medications (OTC) and medical devices encounter route volatility, trade disruption, and demand unpredictability. Distributors, healthcare professionals, and regulators struggle with reduced margins, complex regulations, and higher post-pandemic expectations. Digital service providers face interoperability issues, and innovators find it harder to enter the market. These stresses impact patients’ access to health services, medicine, and positive engagement with healthcare providers and payors.

At HCI, we believe effective collaboration is essential for societal wellness. By standardizing approaches, optimizing processes, reducing costs, and maximizing mutual benefits, we can all improve patient outcomes.

Benefits of collaborating with HCI include:

Ensuring an end-to-end Patient-Centric focus: Incorporating diverse perspectives, importantly those of patients and patient groups, leads to better personalized and effective care.

Bridging Silos: Understanding (non-competitive) risk and opportunity across the value chain spectrum. Harmonizing understanding across the network to improve communication and decision making between industry, service providers, and regulators.

Driving Efficiency and Reducing Costs: Collaborative efforts to streamline operations, eliminate redundancies, and optimize resources (ESG). Exploring impacts of collective change on individual sector business performance and working with payers to drive different thinking in the reimbursement space to reward enhanced outcomes

Enhancing Patient Outcomes: Aligning stakeholder efforts to improve health outcomes and patient care.

Fostering Innovation: Sharing insights and best practices to promote the development of new treatments, technologies, and processes.

Ensuring Regulatory Compliance and Standardization: Collaboration ensures adherence to standards and regulations, enhancing safety and interoperability.

Leveraging Digitalization: Integrating digital technologies like blockchain, IoT, and AI enhances transparency, traceability, and efficiency.

Addressing Global Challenges: Unified efforts can strengthen the sector’s resilience to global issues such as supply chain disruptions and pandemics.

Join us to gain key insights from HCI founders on how collaboration, digitalization, and standardization can create a sustainable, value-driven healthcare system.

The speakers will be available for follow-up discussions post-webinar for any attendees who have further questions or wish to engage more deeply with HCI.

This programme ensures a comprehensive introduction to the Healthcare Chain Institute, covering its core aspects and future initiatives, while allowing time for audience interaction and engagement.

Let’s unite our efforts to drive innovation, digitalization, efficiency, and sustainability in healthcare from production to patient. See you there!
