Supply Chain Resource Council Reports
About the Supply Chain Resource Council (SCRC)
The Supply Chain Resource Council (SCRC) is comprised of over 100 supply chain and health care leaders from across the field with the goal of understanding the extent and impact supply shortages and disruptions are having within the hospital and patient care settings, as well as a capturing and documenting solutions to these challenges.
A report is created from the information collected during these calls and shared with AHA, AHRMM and Professional Management Group (PMG) senior leaders, various Federal Agencies and the broader health care field.
The content of this report represents information, strategies and solutions from SCRC members but does not necessarily reflect policy positions of the AHA.
