Are you taking full advantage of your EHS MMIS investment and the efficiencies and cost reductions that can be gained by optimizing your Supply Chain Management processes?
EHS is working with HealthCare Logistics Services (HLS) to provide supply chain management services to existing EHS customers, and new customers preparing to implement the EHS technology solution. These services are designed to help healthcare facilities optimize the benefits of the EHS technology by ensuring efficient supply chain management processes and reduced operating costs.
Drivers for Change
As operating costs continue to skyrocket and revenues continue to plummet, healthcare facilities are under ever greater pressure to generate profits without compromising quality. In most cases, adopting best-of-business practices for supply chain management is the fastest, least disruptive and most economical way to realize these across-the-board profits. Supplies and supply chain processes can be responsible for up to 45% of an institution's operating costs. Therefore, optimizing the use of supply chain management technology, facilities and personnel toward reducing these costs to a 15% to 20% level represents a tremendous opportunity for savings.
Evaluating and adopting best-of-business supply chain practices before, during and right after a new system implementation is optimal because it will facilitate the immediate, most effective use of your MMIS investment and bring recognizable, on-going process improvements and cost savings.
The Elusive Return on Investment
HLS' services can produce efficiencies, cut costs, enhance data collection, optimize staff and capital resources and improve service – all culminating in cost reductions that may range from 8% to 10% within 12 months. In most cases, healthcare facilities are able to recoup their consulting investment within the first six months.
HLS' solutions have proven effective and reliable for over 200 healthcare clients across the United States . In fact, so much so, that HLS is one of the few healthcare consulting firms confident enough to accept “at risk” performance-based contracts.
By coordinating specific supply chain management services with a hospital information system implementation, healthcare facilities may even recoup or offset their MMIS investment.
