4. Why talk about Supply Chain
Supply chain is the fastest growing sector in healthcare
#2 cost is product and supplies (35-40% of HS budgets )
Next 5-7yrs it will be the #1 cost to hospital systems
21. New Technology/Products Process
• Physician Champion to provide info himself or designated person
• Vendor to provide info
• 1 month lead time for committee to review
• 2 weeks prior committee to virtually start exchanging notes
• 1 week prior ask more info as needed
• Date of meeting decision (yes, more info, no)
22. Five critical factors for building a successful MET
Executive Support
Accountability
Clinical Champion
Process
Communication
25. Corporate MET Role
• Evaluation of all new products
• Evaluation of capital items
• Standardization of products across system
• Coordination with RHM- MET/ Regional- MET
• Coordination with HPG- MET
• Education & engagement of RHM physicians
26. Pitfalls & Challenges
• Lack of executive leadership support
• Supply Chain specific challenges:
– Credibility among physicians
– Gaining and maintaining C-Suite support
– Implementation standardization
– Measuring success outcome
– Adherence to standard operating procedures
– Consensus among MET members
– Maintaining flexibility in contracts to adopt innovative solutions

28. Physician specific challenges
– Decision based on preference and not evidence based (PPI)
– Apathy; multiple hospitals
– Lack of alignment & interest
– Time
– Changing perceptions since MD oblivious of cost issues
29. Proposed Steps for SCM
• Establish MET at all RHMs
• Set up meeting schedule for each individual RHMs (perhaps
initially once a month and then every other month)
• Establish Regional (Mid Atlantic)MET (meeting quarterly);
These could be either be held virtually or on a rotational basis
on site between each RHM
• Local MET will correspond with Regional MET which may
further correspond with Corporate MET, as needed
30. Further Steps
• Local RHM MET to review any new product (including a new
generation of an existing product)
• Regional MET to review products $1000 and above or any
lower dollar high volume product which a local RHM wants to
be reviewed at a regional level
• All ‘Capital’ purchases need to be referred to Regional RHM
for either review, comment, Group S2 contracts or guidance
from Corporate RHM
35. Execution
• Two-thirds of transformation programs fall short of their
objectives
• Senior executives understand intellectually what needs to
change to improve performance, and clever consultants design
a future operating model that looks foolproof on paper; still
they fail
• Where change fails is in the Execution!
