Transforming the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain: The Role of Supply Chain Integration in Connecting Standards Related to Hospital Performance
Get PDFWhile integrative care has become standard practice worldwide, a better understanding of the factors driving behaviour, decision-making, collaboration, and governance in care networks is needed to move towards integrative care. The role of supply chain internal and external integration, and its effects on pharmaceutical supply chain performance, has not been studied extensively in the hospital management literature. Supply chain integration adds value to the hospital, demonstrating its efficiency in the pharmaceutical supply chain. This paper proposes a link-oriented model of supply chain integration and performance in the pharmaceutical supply chain. The cross-sectional survey was conducted with 411 pharmacy staff working in Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City hospitals. The results indicate that hospital supply chain integration with factors (Human resource management, quality management system, product supply, and information technology) is directly and significantly related to pharmaceutical supply chain performance. The study's main contribution is the discovery of supply chain integration that links pharmaceutical supply chain performance to disease management paradigm transitions. Theoretical and managerial implications, the scope of future research and the study's limitations are also discussed

Implementation Of Legal Lending Limits for Commercial Bank Credit as A Form of Implementation of Prudential Principles
Get PDFThis research aims to find out how the Legal Lending Limit (LLL) is implemented for commercial banks. The method used in this research is a normative legal research method using a statutory approach. The research results show that the application of the Legal Lending Limit (LLL) is a form of application of the precautionary principle where regulations regarding LLL aim to minimize credit risks that may occur. If there is a violation or exceedance of the LLL, it must be handled immediately by making an action report and the bank must resolve the violation or exceedance of the LLL in accordance with the action plan within a predetermined time limit. The impact of violations or exceeding the LLL that are not resolved means that the person responsible for a bank can be subject to sanctions in the form of administrative sanctions and criminal sanctions, apart from that it can also have an impact on the continuity of the bank's existence if a credit failure occurs
