As outsourcing ventures become more complex, opportunities for synergies and
efficiencies increase, but also create longer and more fragmented supply chains
which could have disastrous consequences, particularly in a healthcare context.
This study investigates the implications of outsourcing on healthcare supply
chains by comparing two alternatives: outsourcing from public-to-private and
outsourcing from public-to-public. A conceptual framework, adapted from previous
literature, has been employed to provide a comprehensive overview of the
phenomenon and consider the implications of logistics and procurement outsourcing
on the healthcare supply chain structure and performance. The study presents a
European cross-country comparison, analysing both the National Health Service
(NHS) outsourcing in England (public-to-private outsourcing) and the Regional
Health Service (RHS) outsourcing in the Tuscany region (Italy) (public-to-public
outsourcing). Specificities and commonalities of the two outsourcing experiences
provide suggestions for managers and policy-makers and enhance the current
knowledge of outsourcing in the public healthcare sector.
