  • Title: Distributing the goods the right way.
    Author: Housley CE.
    Journal: Hospitals; 1977 Jun 16; 51(12):103-5. PubMed ID: 873446.
    Abstract:
    Distribution is an integral part of the supply process; a product or supply has little value until it is in the hands of those who can use it. The traditional "reverse distribution process," in which nursing or other departmental personnel go down to central stores to pick up any needed materials, results in a costly, inefficient use of manpower. When choosing a supply system, one of the foremost considerations that a hospital should keep in mind is how the supply or product will be delivered to where it can be used.
