STRATEGIC DISTRIBUTION AND SUPPLY CHAIN OPTIMIZATION FOR ATHLETIC PHARMACEUTICAL SUPPLIES: ENHANCING PERFORMANCE THROUGH INFORMATION-BASED MANAGEMENT

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to optimize the pharmaceutical supply chain management for athletic health care facilities through the application of an SPD (Supply, Processing, and Distribution) logistics model, enhancing both efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Methods: Utilizing a comprehensive SPD model, this research explores the refinement management of pharmaceutical supplies within athletic health care facilities. The study involved the implementation of an integrated information management system that connects the internal operations of sports medicine facilities with external pharmaceutical supply chains. Results: The introduction of the SPD logistics model facilitated a seamless connection between the internal structure of athletic health care facilities and the external supply chain, utilizing advanced supplier and product qualification systems. This integration not only streamlined in-hospital logistics operations but also significantly reduced circulation costs and improved data visualization across the entire supply chain. Quality evaluation systems for service items were developed, and the overall management of pharmaceutical supplies was optimized to support the specialized needs of athletes and sports medicine programs. Conclusion: The SPD logistics model provides a robust framework for the effective management of pharmaceutical supplies in sports medicine, offering significant improvements in operational efficiency, cost reduction, and quality of care. The model aligns with contemporary medical reform policies aimed at enhancing the quality and efficiency of health care provision in the athletic sector, benefiting patients, suppliers, and health care facilities alike.
