Health Care
Future Industry Under Cost Pressure
The health-care sector in Germany accounts for an increasingly large share of gross value added at around twelve percent. Its continued growth is driven by progressive aging, rising demand for care, and increasing health-care needs.
However, in addition to the shortage of skilled workers—which already hampers development in almost all sectors of the economy—key players in the health-care industry are confronted with persistent underfunding.
► Leveraging experience from industry and logistics
Public and private health-care service providers are caught between enormous investment requirements and cost pressure. Due to lengthy financing lead times for modernization and expansion, many hospitals are unable to keep pace with rapid medical and technological progress, digitalization, and demographic aging.
Implementation timelines for investments are often several times longer than those of industrial projects. This is precisely where LogistikPlan contributes its experience from production, trade, and logistics, for example
- in the design of building structures and functional areas tailored to medical, logistics, and hygiene requirements
- in the optimization and automation of hospital logistics and its conversion to modular systems for transport, storage, and supply
- in the outsourcing or insourcing of logistics and technical services
- in supply chain management for pharmaceutical and medical technology goods, or
- in the implementation of digital services in hospital facility management.
► Industries within the LogistikPlan competence field Health Care:
Pharmaceuticals, laboratories, and pharmaceutical logistics
- Manufacturers of pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical suppliers (e.g. medicines, in-vitro diagnostics, pharmaceutical packaging)
