This includes all the business processes that occur within hospitals and clinics as well as the supply chains that link them to other providers, such as doctors, nurses, pharmacists or insurance companies. The result is a continuum which starts with diagnosis and ends in discharge.
There are four components to the value chain:

-
Supply Chains - All the organizations involved in making sure that the right supplies reach the right people at the right time. A hospital might have several suppliers. These could include lab testing facilities, imaging centres, pharmacies, or even janitorial personnel.
