Resumen
Este trabajo involucra la conceptualización de los principales factores operativos de la cadena de abastecimiento médico de Arabia Saudita y la cadena de suministro médico colombiano. Los investigadores de este proyecto consideran que como producto de turismo médico es similar a un producto de consumo en la gestión de la cadena de suministro, hasta cierto punto, muchos de los objetivos de operaciones que se encuentran en una cadena de suministro de fabricación también pueden aplicarse fácilmente a la cadena de suministro de turismo médico. Proponemos y probamos un modelo que se basa en constructos relacionados con la cadena de suministro (calidad, acceso, asequibilidad y confiabilidad) para informar la demanda de servicios médicos tanto en Colombia como en Arabia Saudita.
