Healthcare: Startling Statistics
• # of Healthcare Organizations Operating at a loss:
– 53% of Hospitals & Health Organizations Nationally
– Outpatient Volumes: +2.6%, Inpatient Volumes: +1.5%
– Overall Margin -7.6% 1
• Healthcare Supply Spend Accounts for:
– Over 30% of operating budget (supplies)
– Over 45% of operating budget (complete supply chain)
– Projections: 2011 / 2012 supply chain will eclipse labor

More Startling Statistics…..
• 40,000 instances of harm in US Healthcare
System annually
– 1 in 20 patients receive wrong medication
– 3.5 million documented infections due to poor
hand hygiene
– 195,000 patients die from medical mistakes
• 2005-2007 Medicare estimated $6.9B spent
on avoidable errors and events

The Johns Hopkins Story
• Josie King, 19992001
•
July 17, 2015
“Josie’s death,” Sorrell told the
crowd in Hurd Hall, “was the
result of a combination of many
errors, all of which were
avoidable. You are the only
ones who can solve this
problem. The medical
community must be open to the
possibility that shortcomings do
exist, and you must be prepared
to make the necessary
changes.”

HAC – Hospital Acquired
Conditions
• Section 5001(c) of the Deficit Reduction Act (DRA) of 2005
required the Secretary of the Department of Health and
Human Services to select at least 2 conditions by October 1,
2007 that are:
–High cost, high volume or both;
–Assigned to higher paying DRG when present as a
secondary diagnosis; and
–Could reasonably have been prevented through the
application of evidence-based guidelines
• Further required hospitals to begin reporting on claims for
discharges, beginning October 1, 2007, whether the selected
conditions were present on admission (POA).

Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, Pub. L. No. 109-171, 120 Stat. 4 (Feb. 8, 2006)
Quality and Payment:
Strategic Cost Savings
• CMS position regarding payment:
That any treatment/care and costs
associated with these “Never Events”
are not deemed to be “Medically
Necessary” and as such, will not be
reimbursed

Falls and Trauma: Fractures; Dislocations; Intracranial Injuries;
Crushing Injuries; Burns; Electric Shock (NQF Never Events
address falls, electric shock, and burns)
Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
Vascular Catheter-Associated Infection

Rationale?
• To shift the burden of paying for medical
errors from taxpayers and patients to the care
provider arena in which the error occurred
• To motivate hospitals/healthcare
organizations to accelerate their efforts
toward improving patient safety and
preventing patient harm.

P4P = Safe + Effective + Quality
Care Delivery (and documentation)
• Current System: Volume Based
– Do more, get more.
– Vulnerable to external forces and
negative reinforcement of poor
delivery.
• Changing System: Quality Based
– Do better, get more.
– Do worse, get less.
– Challenged for resources and
profitability

So What?
• What is the risk?
– Already losing revenue.
– Is the organization at risk for additional RAC
audits, HAC denials?
– # and % of cases / patients
• What can supply chain do?
– Partner with providers.
– Focus on total patient cost and revenue cycle
rather than acquisition costs.

“The Genius Checklist”
• 2003 Michigan Study
– 3 mo HAI dropped 2.7 / 1000
to 0
– 1,500 lives saved in first 18
months
– Estimated Savings $183M
– Check list incorporated:
• Full Drape
• Chloraprep
• Long Gown for Providers

Supply Chain: Where do we fit?
• “Process is as
important a resource
as labor, supplies
and money”
– Technology &
Equipment
– Supplies & Devices
– Strategic Partnership

Technology and Equipment
Myth: Quality is expensive and high tech.
• Cutting Edge Technology
Advances:
– Outcome Based
Assessments
– Process Realignment
– Evaluation of Efficiencies &
Quality ROI
– Smart Technologies
– Interfaces (the panacea)

Supplies & Devices
Research, Research, Research
• Engage Clinicians
– Evidence Based Outcomes
– Peer Review Processes
– Data analysis
• Evaluate the Revenue Cycle
– % reimbursement & DRG
– Documentation requirements
• Best Value not Lowest Cost
– Review entire system
– Not all commodities are equal
• Follow Up
– Track Outcomes and actualized efficiencies

Strategic Partnership:
Provider, Vendor and Me.
• Provider: Deliver consistent high quality care.
• Vendor: Provide innovative and reliable resources
and solutions to health organizations.
• Me: Provide safe, effective and
quality resources,
support and solutions to clinicians and patients.
Result: Safe, high quality care delivered
at the lowest total cost.
