HSRP®: Economic Value of Diverting Hospital Supplies from Landfill

Margin Protection Through Supply Recovery, Cost Avoidance, and Supply Chain Resilience

A

Hospitals are operating in a new financial reality where supply chain disruption, cost inflation, labor inefficiency, and working-capital pressure have become recurring threats to margin performance. Over the last five years, global shocks including the COVID-19 pandemic, pharmaceutical shortages, geopolitical conflict, climate events, and domestic manufacturing interruptions have repeatedly translated into patient-level supply shortages, procedural delays, and significant EBITDA erosion.

At the same time, hospitals continue to discard large quantities of sterile, unopened, and fully usable medical supplies, creating a hidden financial loss that compounds external supply volatility.

The Hospital Supply Recovery Program (HSRP * Patent Pending) addresses both challenges simultaneously by converting recoverable waste into usable on-hand inventory, immediate expense reduction, and measurable sustainability gains without requiring capital investment.
