Medline's Complete Delivery SystemWhat is CDS?
CDS is Medline's Complete Delivery System that simplifies every step of your supply chain. We take everything that's disposable and procedural-specific and put it in one module. It's everything that you use today. Same vendors. Same item numbers. Just put together by Medline and delivered to your facility in the container of your choice. Each CDS program is designed based on your facility's particular supply chain needs. Medline uses our no-risk analysis, SCORE (Supply Chain Operations Review and Evaluation), to determine savings and efficiency opportunities for your facility. Typically, the SCORE assessment reveals the potential to significantly simplify and streamline your clinical supply chain.
