The importance of sustainability in Hospital Supply Chain Management (HSCM) has been increasingly recognized, particularly in the post-pandemic era. With growing demands for healthcare services, environmental concerns, and the pressing need for cost-effective solutions, hospitals must reconsider their supply chain strategies to ensure sustainability [1]. One critical aspect of achieving sustainable HSCM is fostering collaboration and information flow among stakeholders. Previously the author discussed about the Hospital Infrastructure Development (HID) which is one of the key elements that can contribute to sustainable HSCM [9]. This article will discuss another key element, the significance of "Collaboration & Information Flow" in ensuring Hospital Supply Chain Management Sustainability.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized the way we manage supply chains, providing increased visibility, real-time tracking, and seamless connectivity between all stakeholders involved. Despite the myriad of benefits, the growing dependence on IoT technologies has also amplified the need for secure financial solutions and monitoring the transaction amount SCM parties. Unfortunately, there is a dearth of research in this specific area. This article illustrates the importance of secure financial solutions and transaction monitoring in supply chain management (SCM) and deserves further investigation.

This literature review presents a systematic review of popular supply chain management (SCM) theories, focusing on their definitions, early development, and contributions to the field. Seven fundamental theories are analyzed in detail: Resource-Based View, Agency Theory, Transaction Cost Theory, Stakeholder Theory, Balanced Scorecard Theory, Knowledge-Based View Theory, and Strategic Choice Theory. The study traces the origins and evolution of these theories, highlighting their unique foundations and the contexts in which they emerged. The review also discusses the fundamental principles and underlying assumptions of each theory, emphasizing their relevance to SCM and the implications for its practice. The review shows how these theories have helped us understand and improve SCM and how they can improve supply chain performance, promote sustainability, and drive innovation. This thorough analysis is a helpful tool for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers who want to learn more about the different theories that continue to shape and inform the field of supply chain management.
