Black Book Research releases 2027 outlook on healthcare supply chain
Survey findings from Q1-Q3 2026 highlight a budget pivot to control towers and outcome-based managed services.
A survey by Black Book Research indicates that 57% of healthcare organizations plan to consolidate their supply chain software into integrated platforms or managed ecosystems. This spells disruption for niche SaaS vendors and opportunity for those offering outcome-based managed services.
