[Alex Diamond](https://www.z5inventory.com/blog/author/alex-diamond) 10/29/2019 ![Everyone wants to clean up healthcare and the Z5 Piggy Bank along with it.](https://www.z5inventory.com/hs-fs/hubfs/FTS%20-%20clean%20up.jpg?width=802&name=FTS%20-%20clean%20up.jpg) It seems like everyone has a miracle fix for US hospitals. Can hospitals not help themselves?  Before we go too much further: yes, we realize we're a solution provider and not a healthcare provider. But we're not talking about the industries that directly support the healthcare industry. What struck us this week were the companies - many of them familiar faces at this point - that think they can apply their business models to healthcare.  The usual suspects include...  1. UPS, which unveiled [a host of new services](https://www.inboundlogistics.com/cms/article/breaking-ups-launches-new-tech-enabled-healthcare-solutions-standardizes-quality-systems-forms-healthcare-unit/) specifically built to support healthcare's supply chain, including expanding its [facilities capable of handling surgical instruments](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ups-undergoes-major-healthcare-facility-130005070.html).  2. Amazon, which has [folded yet another healthcare startup](https://www.healthcaredive.com/news/amazon-acquires-digital-health-startup-1-year-post-pillpack/565744/) into its offerings, potentially steering itself toward the telehealth market.  3. Disruption doesn't need to be bad. But when it's rolled out without considering the landscape, mistakes are made. Like [this widely-used algorithm](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-administration-bias/widely-used-healthcare-algorithm-racially-biased-idUSKBN1X32H8) that's putting Black patients' health at risk.  4. So how do we make sure we're implementing positive changes? Well, it's not enough to measure your results. You have to [understand what you're measuring and why](https://blogs.oracle.com/scm/what-kind-of-visibility-into-your-supply-chain-do-you-really-need).  5. Because hospitals have [unique analytics and reporting needs](https://www.healthcaredive.com/spons/the-unique-analytics-and-reporting-needs-of-hospitals/564228/). That last part's no surprise to us. We know better than most that every healthcare facility does things just a little bit differently.  Eventually - as every separate part of healthcare starts working more closely together - that will change. Until then, you need a company that will [tailor their solution](https://www.z5inventory.com/solutions) to the reality you're facing.  It's not help if it's not helping.    [selling medical inventory](https://www.z5inventory.com/blog/topic/selling-medical-inventory) [supply chain management](https://www.z5inventory.com/blog/topic/supply-chain-management) [amazon](https://www.z5inventory.com/blog/topic/amazon) [medical supply](https://www.z5inventory.com/blog/topic/medical-supply) [ups](https://www.z5inventory.com/blog/topic/ups) [improvements](https://www.z5inventory.com/blog/topic/improvements) [digital supply management](https://www.z5inventory.com/blog/topic/digital-supply-management) [disruption](https://www.z5inventory.com/blog/topic/disruption) [healthcare inventory](https://www.z5inventory.com/blog/topic/healthcare-inventory) [buying medical inventory](https://www.z5inventory.com/blog/topic/buying-medical-inventory) [shipping](https://www.z5inventory.com/blog/topic/shipping) ## Leave a Comment ## Related Posts ### [3/27/2019 See You At The Trade Shows](https://www.z5inventory.com/blog/see-you-at-the-trade-shows) ### [2/2/2021 Why Is The Vaccine Supply Chain Different From Any Other? | Five To Save](https://www.z5inventory.com/blog/why-is-the-vaccine-supply-chain-different-from-any-other-five-to-save) ### [7/2/2018 Five To Save | Follow The Leaders | July 2, 2018](https://www.z5inventory.com/blog/five-to-save-july-2-2018) ![Group 1212](https://www.z5inventory.com/hubfs/Group%201212.png) Z5 Inventory was founded with the purpose of saving health care providers nationwide from expiring product, empowering them to Count, Reallocate, and Buy their inventory all in one place. - [Solutions](https://www.z5inventory.com/solutions) - [Z5 Count](https://www.z5inventory.com/solutions-2021-0-1) - [Z5 Analytics](https://www.z5inventory.com/solutions-2021-0) - [Z5 Optimization](https://www.z5inventory.com/solutions-2021-0-0) - Company - [About Us](https://www.z5inventory.com/contact-2021) - [Contact Us](https://www.z5inventory.com/contact) - [Careers](https://www.z5inventory.com/careers) - [Blog](https://www.z5inventory.com/blog) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.z5inventory.com/privacy-policy) - [Get The App](https://www.z5inventory.com/platform) - [Apple App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/z5-count/id1557711721) - [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.z5inventory&gl=US) - [Dashboard Login](https://prod.z5development.com/) © 2026 All rights reserved.
