Healthcare Value Analysis Hospital Consulting and Benchmarking for Supply Chain Savings

Are you ready to build high-performance teams that keep your project managers on track, on budget, and on target to achieve even better and faster results?

If your answer to this question is a NO, you can stop reading this column…now. However, if your answer is YES, keep reading since I’m going to share with you one little known secret of high performance value teams. A secret that will enable you to virtually guarantee successful savings implementation every time, minimize communication gaps, and optimize your team’s time, money and resources.

The secret is for you to invest in project management software that will: (i) expand your ability to manage and control all of your value analysis projects in real-time, (ii) give a tangible structure to your value analysis studies vs. winging it, (iii) expertly apply value analysis concepts to your projects, and (iv) document all projects and savings.

Just the other day I was talking to one of our IDN clients about what’s new in his supply chain world. He told me that he is now is employing project management software to manage all of his savings projects and this has boosted his project manager’s productivity by double digits.

More importantly, this supply chain professional now has piece of mind that his projects are on track, on budget and on target. Before buying the project management software he wasn’t really sure what the factual status of his projects were at any given time. All he had to base his decisions on were verbal project updates along the way.

That’s all changed now he says with just one click of his mouse he can see for himself all of his projects status reports without any filters, miscommunications or misunderstandings that have often crept into his status reports in bygone days. He now believes that only with project management software can healthcare organizations meet their strategic savings objectives each and every year. It just makes sense to do so!

P..S. Discover the power our Supply Chain Pilot™ can give you in the management and control of ALL of your supply chain and value analysis projects. It just makes sense to do so!

How Good is Your Supply Chain Radar?

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. To our delight, that’s exactly how our new Utilizer™ works. We do ALL the heavy lifting, and you reap all the savings.
