08 Sep Supply Chain Issues: How the Lack of Quality Wound Care Products Are Affecting the Healing Process

No one gave the supply chain a second thought until a worldwide pandemic began creating bottlenecks in the system several years ago. Suddenly, people and businesses couldn’t get products or had to wait forever for delivery of something simple, like rubbing alcohol. 

Hospitals and healthcare systems have faced major ongoing issues with supply chains, from shortages in bandages to solutions.

How the lack of quality wound care products is affecting the healing process

Establishing resilient healthcare supply chains is a vital part of delivering a safe and effective wound care experience. And it’s taken on more urgency over the past several years as many supply-related relationships have come under strain or collapsed entirely due to unplanned disruptions. 

Whether it’s rising fuel prices, labor issues, shortages in raw materials, or other disruptive events, healthcare organizations are struggling to get the materials they need to take care of their patients. According to Deloitte, more than half (57%) of nurses in a survey can recall a time when a physician didn’t have the product they needed. 

Delays or out-of-stock items aren’t an option when patients need products for post-surgery and acute wound care. Not having the quality products they need when they need them can impede the healing process and lead to unnecessary pain and suffering. Fortunately, this untenable situation can be avoided entirely by partnering with FritzFinn for reliable, effective, and convenient wound care products.
