Lo studio fa luce sulle strategie di integrazione della logistica dei beni nel settore sanitario. La presente ricerca focalizza l’attenzione sulla partnership tra fornitori e aziende sanitarie e si pone l’obiettivo di rispondere a tre diverse domande: i) quali sono le strategie di integrazione che le organizzazioni sanitarie cercano di attuare con i propri fornitori?; ii) quali sono i vantaggi e le barriere delle diverse strategie di integrazione?; iii) quali sono le condizioni organizzative per una strategia di integrazione di successo?I dati sono stati raccolti mediante la somministrazione di un questionario rivolto ai Responsabili Acquisti/Logistici delle aziende sanitarie del centro-nord Italia. La popolazione target finale per questa analisi era costituita da 135 unità. Il tasso di risposta è stato del 46%.Le evidenze mostrano un notevole grado di maturità delle organizzazioni sanitarie. I progetti di integrazione tendono a focalizzarsi maggiormente sui beni più costosi e complessi: (i) dispositivi medici e (ii) materiali per sale operatorie. Le organizzazioni sanitarie cercano partner industriali in grado di offrire elevati standard di qualità dei servizi logistici. La standardizzazione, il commitment del top management e la rilevanza strategica della funzione logistica sono ampiamente considerati come aspetti chiave per l’implementazione di successo di questi progetti.
