Abstract: Top 25 global supply chains emphasise the role of supply chain management professionals and the relational coordination (RC) as the vital element for success of supply chain collaboration. RC is essential for manufacturing and service supply chains and it is an invisible bonding element. Research findings suggest that the strength of RC ties among participants in a work that process depends on several parameters like quality, efficiency, and workforce engagement. Typically, healthcare service operations deal with humans and success of it depends on several care parameters that result in increased quality, improved clinical outcomes, shorter length of stay, and improved patient satisfaction. To address this query, a systematic literature review is done to identify the vital RC parameters. The Gittell's framework for healthcare coordination is modified as per Indian healthcare context. The outcome of this paper is parameter selection for RC and modified high performance work practice (MHPWP).
