University of Arkansas Center for Innovation in Health Care Logistics University of Arkansas Walmart has long been a leader in logistics and supply chain technology. American health care is a place where we see an opportunity to share our logistics and information technology expertise to improve the quality of care for all Americans. The Center for Innovation in Health Care LogisticsIn March 2007, we partnered with the University of Arkansas and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arkansas, Alabama and Illinois to announce the formation of The Center for Innovation in Health Care Logistics at the University of Arkansas. Our contribution included a $1 million grant over five years. Advancing the integration of information technology into health careThe center will research technology gaps and roadblocks in health care, and identify applications that are working well to determine how they can benefit the larger health care system. The center will also look at ways that information can be better shared throughout the system, to reduce medical errors and to bring greater quality and efficiency to the delivery of care.
