The Center for Innovation in Healthcare Logistics (CHIL) is an industry-university partnership that leads a nationwide effort to identify and foster healthcare system-wide adoption of ground-breaking supply chain innovations. CIHL was created to capitalize on the existing centers of excellence in logistics and distribution at the University of Arkansas by extending that expertise into the healthcare industry. Success so far has given CIHL momentum and recognition across the industry as a source of healthcare supply chain innovations.
CIHL has benefited substantially from collaboration with a variety of healthcare providers, industry organizations, and healthcare supply chain leaders. This conference enabled CIHL to broaden and strengthen its perspectives and research opportunities by bringing to the table a broad set of healthcare supply chain leaders as advisor and participants.
