Power Supply

"Healthcare is focused on patient experience and outcomes. We have HCAHPS scores and quality metrics, but these are all at the end of the service line. However, farther upstream, even before a device is delivered to the hospital, there are decisions that are being made that impact those patient experiences and outcomes. How do we take into account all the variables from a higher level and integrated view? Ryan Bass joins Hays Waldrop, Garry Skinner and Justin Poulin to tell us exactly how and offers his insight on keeping patients informed with positive and negative messaging drip campaigns. That can mean letting them know when they have been impacted by a recall and need to take action, but it can also mean letting them know that they were not impacted and rest easy at night. Be sure to tune in this week for an interesting and engaging discussion!"

Partnering with suppliers and developing transparency around KPIs and metrics is a crucial component of many thriving healthcare sourcing strategies. Stephen Downey from the Cleveland Clinic kicks off the third season of Power Supply by sharing his approach to implementing OTIF (On-Time, In-Full). As Stephen mentions in his discussion with Hays Waldrop, Gary Skinner and Justin Poulin; it's not just getting what we ordered, but also getting it where we requested and when we asked for it. Tune into this episode to learn more, such as how the OTIF score can help organizations identify where expectations may not be in alignment with supplier capabilities and identify necessary steps such as adjusting lead times.

On this week's episode of Power Supply Articles On-the-Go, Bob Yokl discusses two reasons hospital supply chain leaders may be hesitant to believe their own data: "...Supply utilization management is the next big savings strategy that will take supply chain leaders to a new level of supply chain savings – beyond price and standardization. So, why don't more healthcare supply chain leaders believe or care about supply utilization management? Maybe it's because they don't believe the savings are real or realizable because they can't see it with the naked eye. Or, it could be for two other reasons I will talk about now..."
