CAPDM COMMITTEES
CAPDM Committee Members represent all key pharmacy and health care supply chain systems; Standing Committees develop industry Position Papers and identifying solutions for an efficient and safe supply chain. These Committees successfully establish COLLABORATION and build CONSENUS among trading partners with a COMMITMENT to recommending improvements for best supply chain practices.
In addition to Standing Committees, any major issues impacting pharmacy supply chain management could also precipitate the formation of a new Committee or Sub-Committee with Board approval.
