Purchase Service Advantage

Why Are Purchased Services So Important? Because They Represent 40% to 45% of Total Non-Salary Budgeted Spend

Your Purchased Service Data Must Be Organized to Save

Not matter how big or small your healthcare organization is, you have a vast amount of raw data that if compiled correctly can not only point you in the right direction but give you a major advantage towards vital savings for your organization.

Your Reporting Must Give You Proven Winners Every Time

Just because you spend a lot of money in a particular area of purchased services does not always equate to big savings when you start to perform your value analysis on it. There is more to the purchased service equation than meets the eye, and that is why you need a hospital centric purchased service system to give you winning savings candidates every time.

Your Systems Should Make Your Job Easier and Faster

If you are spending 80% to 90% of your time just trying to filter out a purchased service category, then the vital part of your efforts are being expelled in an area that can be quickly automated. This will free you and your team to focus on the major task at hand which is drilling down (with the help of your software) into how and why your costs are out of line. Then, you can spend 90% of your time achieving actual savings instead of wasting it endlessly crunching and filtering numbers that don’t save your organization a dime.

Winning Purchased Service Management Is About Being Able to Focus On the Areas With the Biggest Opportunities to Bring Quality Savings Results To Your Organization and Avoid Dry Holes

Are There Bigger Savings Beyond Just Contract Reviews? Yes!

The majority of progressive healthcare organizations have already performed initial reviews of contracting on purchased services through normal contracting channels and their group purchasing organizations, but have seen modest results. The reality is that there are bigger savings still residing in your purchased service contracts but are not uncovered because you are not tracking purchased services thoroughly.

The worst thing that can happen to any healthcare organization is for purchased service utilization costs to increase without knowing where, when, why, or how.

The simple truth is that most hospitals stop short on their purchased service efforts and open the door for costs to creep back into the same contracts that were just finalized. How does this happen? Because you are not continuing to monitor the costs of purchased services that represent 33% of your total hospital budget.

The Purchased Service Advantage:
-Continuously benchmarks costs (not price) of purchased services by major and minor categories
-Provides ongoing monitoring for unfavorable trends in utilization
-Drills down into vendor variances
-Questions utilization costs beyond the contracts with vendors and key stakeholders

Frequently Asked Questions About Purchased Service Advantageâ„¢ Software Tools

QUESTION: How much savings can Purchased Service Advantage Software really uncover for us?

ANSWER: Most hospitals realize approximately 11% to 18% additional savings on their overall purchased service budget by implementing Purchased Service Advantageâ„¢. If your supply budget is $25 million a year, you can realize $2.8 to $4.5 million dollars in additional savings beyond your contracting process.

QUESTION: If we already had an audit by our GPO or large consulting firm on purchased service contracts, do we really need a system to manage these after they save us so much?

ANSWER: Yes, you need a system as you have achieved the first level of savings through an initial audit, but what your GPO and consulting firms fail to implement is an ongoing tracking and alert system to let you know where your new savings reside moving forward. Remember, purchased services, like supplies, are utilized and purchased every day and should not be treated like a one-time event. The moment those new contracts are put in place there are new savings opportunities in the usage and utilization of those purchased service areas. You must have a system to make you aware of them!
