The private healthcare sector was chosen because of the fundamental importance of quality in this sector, the widespread understanding that sustainable development is part of hospital quality standards, and the compelling need for the supply chain components to work together in order to add value to the business models of private healthcare services. This study uses a qualitative methodology, striving to add value to and shed light on the relationship between private hospital communication modes and their stakeholders’ needs and their stakeholders’ expectations of business models in the marketplace and society. This research lists a range of actions and services for assessing the priorities of private hospital communication modes in business models with respect to stakeholder needs and expectations. Furthermore, the study links stakeholder needs and the expectations of business models in private hospitals, with respect to private hospital communication modes with stakeholders, and vice versa. It also provides directions for managers in the healthcare industry to determine the appropriate actions and services for addressing stakeholders’ needs and stakeholders’ expectations of business models in private hospitals considering sustainable development. This research contributes to framing the future direction of sustainable development in business models of the healthcare industry. The paper outlines the assessment of communication modes in relation to economic, social, and environmental performance in the context of sustainable development.

This study aims to explore the impact of healthcare digitalization on smart hospital project financing (PF) fostered by pay-for-performance (P4P) incentives. Digital platforms are a technology-enabled business model that facilitates exchanges between interacting agents. They represent a bridging link among disconnected nodes, improving the scalable value of networks. Application to healthcare public-private partnerships (PPPs) is significant due to the consistency of digital platforms with health issues and the complexity of the stakeholder's interaction. In infrastructural PPPs, public and private players cooperate, usually following PF patterns. This relationship is complemented by digitized supply chains and is increasingly patient-centric. This paper reviews the literature, analyzes some supply chain bottlenecks, addresses solutions concerning the networking effects of platforms to improve PPP interactions, and investigates the cost-benefit analysis of digital health with an empirical case. Whereas diagnostic or infrastructural technology is an expensive investment with long-term payback, leapfrogging digital applications reduce contingent costs. "Digital" savings can be shared by key stakeholders with P4P schemes, incentivizing value co-creation patterns. Efficient sharing may apply network theory to a comprehensive PPP ecosystem where stakeholding nodes are digitally connected. This innovative approach improves stakeholder relationships, which are re-engineered around digital platforms that enhance patient-centered satisfaction and sustainability. Digital technologies are useful even for infectious disease surveillance, like that of the coronavirus pandemic, for supporting massive healthcare intervention, decongesting hospitals, and providing timely big data. not due to population aging per se, but to the increase in demand for new medical technologies that improve and/or extend life as real per-capita incomes grow [3,4].Within this evolving framework, technology is a double-edged sword, since it increases healthcare expenditure [5] but can also bring savings and quality-of-life improvements [6]. The relationship between medical technology and spending is complex and often conflicting. The impact of technology on costs differs across technologies, in that some (e.g., cancer drugs, invasive medical devices) have significant financial implications, while others are cost-neutral or cost-saving [7]. Medicine in the 21 st century is increasingly dependent on technology. Unlike in many other areas, the cost of medical technology is not declining, and its increasing use contributes to spiraling healthcare costs. Many medical professionals equate progress in medicine to the growing use of sophisticated technology, which is often expensive and beyond the reach of the average citizen [8].Whereas technology concerning tangible items, such as diagnostic equipment or physical infrastructure, has an uncertain cost-benefit trade-off, digital investments have a shorter payback, are typically cheaper, and show sounder benef...

“…Few research studied VMI implementation be successful in hospital, e.g., Dong and Xu (2002) represented VMI benefits to be useful to reduce stock holding; Classen, et al (2008) suggested supplier relationship with good IT infrastructure resulted from VMI usage; Hui (2010) suggested supply chain management in hospital based on VMI; and Bhakoo et al ( 2012) found that various benefits were perceived from collaborative agreements among supply chain of hospital partners. Moreover, healthcare sector, as a part of service industry, has been extensively studied in several aspects; for example, an influence of the related parties through inventory systems in healthcare (De Vries, 2011) , a making decision on an appropriated product selection for professional healthcare staffs ( Chen et al , 2013) , an explore of the impact of VMI practices on warehouse and inventory management of hospital (Ngampunvetchakul, 2014); cost-benefit sharing in healthcare supply chain collaboration (Niemsakul et al, 2018); a multicriteria decision making model for readiness assessment of vendor managed inventory in healthcare (Sumrit, 2019); and a generic framework for hospital supply chain (Ziat et al, 2019).…”

Vendor-managed inventory (VMI) is one of effective and crucial tools to alleviate the demand volatility of stocks problems, reduce time and operating cost in healthcare sector. VMI strategy becomes a necessity for both suppliers and hospitals to sustainably develop and to cope with stock availability and overall reliability process by sharing information. The process and management of VMI is a complicated work which needs substantial degrees of collaboration, expertise, and information sharing. This paper purposes a comprehensive multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) to select the best potential supplier for VMI collaboration in healthcare organization. The study developed MCDM framework consists of (i) Fuzzy Delphi approach to select the appropriate evaluation criteria for VMI supplier selection (ii) Fuzzy Step-wise Weight Assessment Ration Analysis (SWARA) method to determine the relative importance weight of evaluation criteria, (ii) Fuzzy Complex Proportional Assessment of Alternatives (COPRAS) to compare, rank and select the best appropriated supplier. An empirical case study was applied for a local famous public hospital and the best potential supplier was selected. The study reveals that the most evaluation criteria when selecting supplier for VMI in healthcare sector are institutional trust, information sharing and exchanging as well as information technology. .
