Welcome

The following best practices and standards are courtesy of the Healthcare Industry Resilience Collaborative (HIRC).  We encourage you to use these materials in pursuit of a more transparent and resilient supply chain.

Please credit HIRC when deploying this framework in a public setting.  May not be used for commercial purposes.

The Mapping and Monitoring standard provides a framework to balance the compelling interests of providers and suppliers for both transparency and competitive considerations. The model specifies increased transparency for more strategic relationships and/or products. The worksheet allows suppliers to respond in a one-to-many fashion.
