The study’s objective was to develop an implementation framework to advance provincial and national health system supply chain management, through comparative analysis of provincial healthcare supply chains, examining the digital maturity of supply chain infrastructure, exploring related policy frameworks, as well as the effectiveness of federal, provincial, and territorial governmental supply chain coordination through mixed methods research.
