Digital Transformation Initiatives From Drug Development to Patient Care 

The mechanism to reduce the life-threatening vulnerability of the supply chain of healthcare after the COVID-19 Pandemic was and still is digitalization. Fundamentally, digitalization accelerates the change required exponentially. While it’s argued that data, not digitalization, transforms the post pandemic supply chain, the reality is they are inextricably linked. This panel will present case studies that demonstrate this linkage between data and digitalization from the perspective of thought leaders in the areas of Clinical Operations Planning, Digital Cold Chain, Supply Chain Control Towers for Visibility and Early Warning Systems,  Panelists will explain the practicality of how embracing digitalization and advancing long a digital journey can reduce costs, lead times, and supply chain pain points.
