Healthcare Reform
• The Imperative Leading to Reform
• Stem skyrocketing costs; mitigate national debt
• Reduce unfunded liability; expand health coverage
• Tie quality outcomes to reimbursement
The Reconciliation Bill
was signed into law on
March 23, 2010
• Impact on Providers
• Coverage will expand
• Individual mandate & employer requirements
• Medicaid expansion
• Elimination of pre-existing conditions & lifetime limits
• Taxes on “Cadillac insurance plans”
• Taxes on drug makers, health insurers and medical device manufacturers passed to buyers
• Operating Assumptions
• Increased Medicare & Medicaid volumes reduces cost-shifting to commercial payers
• Must generate positive return on Medicare
• Benchmarking and controlling costs
• Pushing payers to increase/maintain rates (those that cannot may consider consolidation)
• Higher levels of collaboration with physicians to create and get paid for value

Patient Safety & Quality
Improving total value within the delivery of care will be a prerequisite to survival. Leadership in the most innovative
health systems are proactively making significant financial and human capital investment to rethink clinical governance,
processes and measurement to ensure accountability around quality and cost imperative.
In a recent NBR broadcast, Dr. Toby Cosgrove, CEO of the Cleveland Clinic was asked “…What do you
think is the most important issue facing other hospitals as they adapt to the new health care law?”
“…Clearly we're going to see more patients and so I think one of the important things for the country so
we don't have health care costs go wild across the country is we need to become more efficient. And in
order to do that, we need to measure quality, as well as measuring costs, so we get maximum value for
our health care dollar. We also have got to be very concerned about our efficiency and driving down
costs and we need to have hospitals collaborate with hospitals, so you come together as a system, so
you don't repeat technology and back office sorts of things. We need to have doctors coordinate with
hospitals to drive the efficiency of the hospitals…”

NSLIJHS Supply Chain Strategic Imperatives
13
Strategic Context
14
The Challenges
• NSLIJ wanted to improve clinical quality, service excellence and strengthen
our financial position
• NSLIJ decided to respond to declining reimbursement by increasing patient
volume
• Overcoming the limited capacity at our hospitals would require large
facility investments
• NSLIJ could not provide superior quality care just by building newer facilities
with the latest technology - We needed to be able to attract and retain the
best people to care for their patients
The Goal
• Leverage supply chain to expand our debt capacity and afford salaries for top
talent
• Improving supply chain cost performance also represented a golden
opportunity to reduce cost and improve patient safety by reducing unwanted
variability in the delivery of care
• Supplies account for roughly 25% of a typical hospital’s operating
budget
• Adding labor and logistics to this jumps to 35 to 45%
• Unnecessary variation in the patient care environment leads to
increased risk and waste
Our Strategic Imperative
• The Imperative was established in November, 2006 as “Project 100”
•
•
Patient Focused Care
•
Simultaneously drive out waste and improve patient safety by eliminating unwarranted
variation in the delivery of patient care
•
Focus standardization on the development of clinical standards selection and the
appropriate supply support
Investing in People and Technology
•
Leverage operational efficiency – including the supply chain to sustain our ability to pay
for the best talent available
•
Expand our ability to afford important life saving technologies
• Operating Assumptions
15
•
Standardize to best patient care practices
•
Reduce over/unnecessary utilization
•
Improve financial performance
•
Reinvest in our infrastructure

Approach – Supply Chain Philosophy
Definition
• Our approach to supply chain management reflects an emphasis on
alignment of core business processes, workflow (procurement, distribution,
inventory management, etc.) pricing, contract management, value analysis
and product standardization through a clinically focused team environment
Objective
• Reduce supply expenditures through collaboration with physicians and
stakeholders
• Tighten utilization management and standardization of products
• Design processes and systems to ensure sustainability.
Requirements
18
• Clinical collaboration to focus on the patient while building transparency in
product decisions and practice patterns
• Shift organizational core values away from total physician autonomy towards
clinical teamwork by encouraging decision-making through the use of clinical
protocols/standards, data analytics and organization around product
decisions
Approach – Coordination and Oversight
19
Approach – Infrastructure Improvement
Example – Contract Management
We identified gaps in core supply chain processes and defined enhancements to people, process and technologies to
build a flexible system that would sustain the benefits and continue to yield improvements. FTI and NSLIJ defined and
standardized critical contracting activities. Here is an example
Process Redesign
Sample Contract Management Process
5. Procurement & Payment Control
Item master linked to PO
Invoice Matching Measurement
End User Requisitioning
Purchase Rebate Tracking
Early payment/discount management
Audit
4. Contract Administration
Approval tracking
Contract Communications
CAF, Corp Rebate & GPO Dividend.
Compliance Reporting
Cost performance metrics
Contract repository
Match PO price to contract
Data Management
20
1. Spend Analysis
Spend Analysis – trending
Contract gap ID (non-contract)
Pricing Benchmark
Share of market analysis by category
Centralized Spend % of all
2. Opportunity Identification
 Estimate of financial impact
 Risk Identification
 Prioritization of effort with department
 (Vendor Score Card)
3. Sourcing & Selection
Stakeholder identification & needs (Spec)
Determine approach to market (Strategy)
Develop competitive offers (RFP)
Collaborative evaluation of offers (VAT or DM)
Approach – Infrastructure Improvement
Example – Defining Spend Analysis Critical Activities
This is an illustration of cross-functional workflow analysis that was created to support the definition of standard
procedures, coordinate contracting activities with the value analysis team cycle, identify control points and provide the
foundation for the contract management system.
21
Approach – Physician Collaboration
Integrated Approach
Typical Approach
• Cost management approach
• Physicians make decisions as individuals
• Weak alignment of physicians with the
hospital’s interest in resource management
• Local system optimization – limited system
thinking
• Uncontrolled clinical variation
• Limited focus on throughput and other
identifiers that are issues of daily professional
practice
• Decreased emphasis on overall efficiencies
22
Clinically Integrated Approach
• A common and compelling vision of new
“patient first” model
• Sustain or improve Quality / Outcomes
• Use relevant clinical science in conjunction
with associated resource consumption data
• Commitment to decision-making transparency
• Focus on development of clinical standards
and pathways to improve outcomes
• Identifying relative strengths and weaknesses
in the core Peri-operative processes
• Redesign core process as needed
Approach – Clinical Implementation Example
Example – Blood Management
Objective : Develop system-wide, data-driven, evidence-based Blood Management practice change to promote the
appropriate use of blood, blood products and alternatives, to improve patient outcomes, to eliminate unnecessary
transfusion and to lower costs associated with blood use.
Approach
Transformational
• For best practice organizations, contract enhancement represents an example of diminishing returns
• Reducing the cost of blood and related products is one-dimensional
• Reframing the approach with physician/surgeon collaboration, evidenced based guidelines assist in improved
clinical outcomes and cost savings
Outcomes
• Sustained overall reduction in process variation
• Monitoring and adherence to evidenced based guidelines and protocols for transfusion
• Reduction in blood and blood product utilization (Typically 5% to 10%)
• Improvement in outcomes – LOS, post-op infection rates, respiratory complications

Outcome
NSLIJ Today
• Established a customer-friendly supply chain organization - capable of continued growth
• Reorganized the supply chain function - Appointed senior leadership; established Value Analysis Teams; and
developed new product introduction processes
• Created a central data repository for purchase information and contract data
• Implemented >$70M in recurring, annual, non-labor, expenses in supplies and purchased services
• The supply chain is much more agile and aligned
• NSLIJ is now able to respond to short-term changes quickly and effectively
• The transformation has helped foster a culture and a strong operational foundation
• Today, NSLIJ Supply Chain capabilities are strong enough to simultaneously:
• Begin consolidated warehouse and GPO operations;
• Implement contract management software;
• Execute a major product standardization initiative; and
• Begin integration of supply chain to clinical processes
26
Outcome
Supply Expense Metrics
Working with our clinical leaders and department managers, we have achieved over $80M in annual, recurring cost
reductions. As a consequence, we were able to decease costs during a period when the average supply expense as a
percent of NPSR or on the basis of adjusted discharge increased dramatically due to inflation and new technology.
