description: Over the last decades’ companies in various segments have begun to realize that having  more efficient processes within their own organization was no longer enough to ensure  a competitive advantage over their competitors, and it was necessary to develop a  systemic view of the entire chain that is inserted including its supply chain. Faced with  these movements, the health sector realized that to increase its competitiveness, it was  necessary to pay attention to supply chain management.  Some studies indicate that efficient hospital supply chain management generates  positive results such as cost reduction. For this reason, hospitals are increasingly  adhering to supply chain management practices and methods.  Given the above, the objective of this research was to present the five main methods of  collaboration in supply chain management. More specifically, the study sought to look  at the supply chain management of a small Irish general hospital and the challenges for  implementing collaborative supply chain management practices in this hospital.  The study results indicate that the hospital studied is not investing in supply chain  collaborative methods and that many process improvement opportunities can be  adopted, especially in its IT area that is paramount to the adoption of collaborative  practices in the supply chain. The research also indicates that one of the key challenges  for implementing collaborative supply chain management methods is a high investment.
