Abstract

Health services, over time, experience changes and developments by promoting many stakeholders to support excellent service, the use of technology has been implemented in various health services ranging from hospitals, clinics, to community health centers. This study tries to find a bridge between supply chain management concepts in health services, and what it future challenge, aided with two research question (1) the trends of healtcare supply chain and (2) future research avenues that less- explore. This study uses a literature study base, and Emerald Insight platform was chosen as the platform to be reached for the relevant journals, limited to the peer-reviewed academic articles published in English after 2005. Close with DI (Density Index) score as a main frame for induce future research theme in healthcare supply chain. This study concluded that research development in the healthcare supply chain area is still ongoing and will be possible to develop, as long as health services continue to operate and strive to improve their performance. Five themes consisting of 22 different topics were found, (1) framework development, (2) case study literation, (3) technology aided, (4) healthcare derivate of service, and (5) method in term of supply chain and operation. Most of the healthcare supply chain studies followed grounded theory and qualitative survey methods. This study thus proposes five main future healthcare supply chain research points (1) framework modelling, (2) using healthcare organization as a sample case, (3) RFID influence, (4) pharmaceutical supply chain, and (5) VMI approach.
