Reference no: EM13228204

An article published by the Institute for Medicine estimates that 30 % of the money spent on healthcare in the US is wasted. It blames fragmented supply chains, poor data visibility and misaligned incentives as the reason. Describe at least one recommendation to improve supply chain performance and reasons why it might decrease costs while improving quality.
