In the dynamic and intricate realm of healthcare, the optimization of talent retention and supply chain management is a constant challenge. Hospitals, known for their complex structures and evolving demands, are increasingly turning to innovative solutions to enhance their operational efficiency. One such solution making significant strides in this arena is Workday Supply Chain Management (SCM).

The Changing Landscape of Healthcare Talent, ML, AI and Supply Chain Management

Workday SCM has emerged as a powerful but underutilized module that is gaining momentum in the healthcare space. This innovative solution is designed to address the specific needs of healthcare organizations, particularly focusing on data analytics and streamlining internal processes to optimize supply chain operations. In addition, Workday’s application of AI and ML technology extends beyond supply chain management. It plays a crucial role in aligning employee skills with job requirements, analyzing skill gaps, recommending learning programs, and optimizing the healthcare workforce.

“Artificial intelligence and machine learning help fulfill the promise of patient-centered care by learning from past patient records,” said Jason Kravitz. “Already, we have seen AI and ML applied to help with diagnosis, to help with automation, to help guide our care recommendations, and so much more. And, we’re seeing the promise of generative AI which will take all the dictation and notes and help summarize the diagnosis.” – John Kravitz, Vice President and Head of Healthcare and Go to Market at Workday.

The retention of talent in healthcare, paired with the optimization of supply chain operations, is imperative for the seamless functioning of healthcare facilities. With the surge in demand for specialized talent and the need for streamlined internal processes, hospitals have sought ways to address these intricate challenges.

Supply chain consultants have emerged as key players in this narrative, assisting hospitals in streamlining and optimizing their internal systems. This collaborative effort focuses on leveraging data and improving internal processes to enhance overall operational efficiency.
