The medical industry is still finding its place as other industries begin to adapt to information ‎technology (IT).Many sectors benefit from the common field of IT, which involve digitized ‎supply chains; virtual medicine communication; data sharing and ‎improved diagnostics technology in multimedia. It is enough to inspire developing countries ‎such as Jordan to embrace IT to deal with different impacts in the hospital supply networks ‎and compete for e-health that most of these technologies cost (Matar & Alnabhan, 2013)..‎
Many sectors benefit from common areas of information technology, including virtual ‎pharmaceutical supply chains, communication with electronic medicines, data sharing and ‎improved interactive diagnostics.‎
Moreover, hospital services are increasingly planned and integrated health care systems ‎introduced as essential mechanisms for reducing resource consumption and improving the ‎quality of healthcare. Of course the world of health services operations changed significantly ‎not only in practice but also from a theoretical point of view. ‎
Nevertheless, our understanding of the health care sector also tends to be rather limited from a ‎supply chain management perspective. While many healthcare organizations recognize the ‎importance of supply chain management practices, it is often very obviously difficult to apply ‎the strategies, processes and best practices that have been initially developed in an industrial ‎environment
