Healthcare Value Analysis Hospital Consulting and Benchmarking for Supply Chain Savings

Teams are just like people, they need to be rewarded and recognized for their success. Otherwise, why would your department heads and managers want to serve on your teams (i.e., value analysis, LEAN management, Six Sigma, etc.) again and again? It’s just human nature!

It doesn’t need to be a big reward or recognition either; small signs of appreciation will do the job. I remember a CEO coming to one of his value analysis team meetings -- unannounced -- after they had met their 90-day milestone goals. He then personally thanked each and every member of his value analysis team for their exceptional good work.

That’s not all! Before the CEO left the team meeting he gave each team member two tickets to a movie that was playing down the street. The team members were blown away by this reward that only cost this CEO $142.22 to do so. So you see it’s not just the size of the reward that matters, but the acknowledgment for the good work from senior management that counts.

Other CEOs we have worked with have given days off when their value analysis teams met their annual savings goal. Or, better yet, have agreed to and then remitted cash rewards as high as $3,500 per team member for exceeding their team’s goals.

It’s not important how you decide to structure, organize, fund and administer your Incentive Program. What’s important is for your healthcare organization’s senior management to acknowledge and recognize the accomplishments of your teams by frequently celebrating their small and big success every month, every quarter and every year.

P..S. If you want to learn more about how to celebrate success with your teams I would suggest that you listen to our most recent podcast “Incentivize-To-Save™: which will give you the most up-to-date information on this topic.

Are You Ready to Open Up a Whole New World of Supply Chain Savings That You Never Imagined Would Be Possible Before?

Do you need to pinpoint where your supply utilization savings are hiding?

The term radar (radio detection and ranging) was coined in 1941, to describe a new technology that detected the altitude, direction and speed of fixed and movable objects, such as airplanes, ships, motor vehicles, weather and terrain.

Radar worked so well in WWII that it is credited as one of the reasons the Allies won the war.

What makes radar so powerful is that it can pinpoint the exact location of something even when other search methods have failed.

Now, take the radar analogy and apply it to your healthcare organization. The bottom line is that price is no longer king, and we’re in turbulent economic times. You NEED something to help you pinpoint where your savings are hiding if you’re to meet your benchmarks and savings goals.

That’s where our Utilizer™ Dashboard comes to the rescue!

You’ve got to attack unnecessary spending!

Just the other day, a material manager (MM) told me that she oversees 26,000 products, services and technologies, but has no way of knowing which are out of cost control at any given time. As a supply chain professional, you know what that’s like. You must hold your total supply cost to the absolute minimum—and doing this requires vigilance.

There’s no better way to be on the lookout for savings opportunities than with your own supply chain radar! The Utilizer™ Dashboard is exactly that! It will help you detect the waste, inefficiencies, misuse, misapplication and value mismatches in your supply chain before they inflict serious damage to your bottom line. Some of these misuses and mismatches are costing your healthcare organization anywhere from four to 11 percent in lost savings opportunities every month, quarter and year you continue to fly blind.

This savings computes to 1 or 2 million dollars per 100 occupied beds. So if you have 180-occupied beds, this could mean 1.8 million to 2.8 million going right to your bottom line—which isn’t small change when you consider that your price savings are disappearing every day.

Utilizer™ Dashboard is Fast, Easy, Efficient Radar—We Do the Heavy Lifting!

Because supply chain professionals have such limited time, it’s critical that when value analysis tools are employed, they provide a high ROI and require very little time and effort to be deployed by supply chain managers.
