UPS is adding drone technology to its latest push into the healthcare industry.
United Parcel Service Inc. (NYSE: UPS) said Tuesday it started a new logistics service that delivers medical samples via unmanned drones through a collaboration with Matternet, an autonomous drone technology company.
The program is taking place at WakeMed Health & Hospitals' flagship hospital and campus in the Raleigh, N.C., with oversight by the Federal Aviation Administration and North Carolina Department of Transportation. UPS said Tuesday's flight marked "the beginning of numerous planned daily revenue flights at the WakeMed Raleigh campus."
UPS said the program represents a major milestone for unmanned aviation in the U.S. as, currently, the majority of medical samples and specimens are transported across WakeMed’s expanding health system by courier cars.

The Consumer-Centric Supply Chain: A look inside Texas Health Resources
|
In the summer of 2017, Shaun Clinton, senior vice president of supply chain management for Texas Health Resources, embarked on a business transformation project that was to coincide with the organization’s migration to a more consumer-centric way of operating. “The team and I are extremely excited to begin to build what a future-state, cutting-edge supply chain organization will look like over the next few years,” he said at the time. “For me, it comes down to, ‘How are we going to address the needs of our customers, and what products will we produce for them so they can do their jobs well and see value?’”
Clinton recently brought
The Journal of Healthcare Contracting
up to date on the project.

:
Why did you undertake the business transformation project?
Shaun Clinton:
I saw a need to use the new tools to align Supply Chain in such a way that the enterprise would view us as a strategic business partner. We had to become “user-friendly,” that is, transparent and nimble enough to meet the needs of the organization. We decided that, if we were going to reorganize to optimize the system, we should take the opportunity to meet the strategic needs of the enterprise.
