Current SCM Solutions
  • Barcode Scanners (Wavemark, Tecsys, BlueBin, Oracle)
    • Nurses pull materials using scanner
    • System updates use, ordering and provides visibility
    • Additional time required by staff
  • Weight Based System (Identi)
    • Overly sophisticated
    • Hard to manage and recalibrate
  • Traditional KANBAN two bin systems
  • ALL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL LABOR or DO NOT Remove Labor

As noted previously, hospitals see value in analytics as noted by Gartner, Deloitte and other studies going back years.

Current Hospital Supply Chain

Annual Spend
  • SM Pa’s IRMC
    • 10 storage rooms/$57M spend with 200 bins/room
  • Med UC Health
    • 400 storage rooms/$50M spend with 125 bin average/room
  • Large Northwestern University Hospitals
    • 1000+ storage rooms/$1B spend with 100+ per storage room, 100,000+ bins, several additional clinics as well managed by high cost nursing staff

Some rooms very small. Little correlation between bins/room and spend per hospital/size as of yet

All have a manual front end
All see the value in analytics
All understand the value of insight for best practices and negotiation

Cost of Daily Counting

  • UC Health estimated at $2100 daily/$63000/month*
    ● NWH estimated at over $5000/day or $150k per month*
    • Nurses cost more
    • Loaded labor/FTE $28/hr for non clinical staffCounting is done by physically observing empty
  • bins then using a handheld scanner to order refill
  • Information confidence is low/empty only INFO
  • Analytics based on use only
  • Hospitals still forced to use dated two bin KANBAN system
  • Substantial nursing issues with hoarding and lost time and patient care due to running out of product
  • Substantial two digit waste for lost or expired products 12-18% (25% clinical staff have used or witnessed using expired products with patient)

* figures confirmed by hospital supply chain leadership

 

How do the economics work?

Prevalent Hospital Issues Post Covid

  • Labor shortage/Increased labor cost

  • Supply chain accuracy identified as a way to cut costs and improve efficiency

    • backlog/waste/inefficient use

      • One Deloitte study found 24% of clinical staff witnessed the use of expired or outdated supplies

      • Of 400k surveyed nurses, physicians, service line leaders and supply chain admin, 2/3rds said they have experienced data related challenges (quality, availability and integration issues)

What is the financial story?

  • Cost reduction 37% of patient care are supplies; SCMs can:

    • 60% reduction in backorders

    • 30% reduction in handling costs

    • 20% reduction in improved pricing

    • Double digit waste reduction (for a mid sized hospital this can be millions)

  • 50% LABOR reduction with Intellibinz

    • Eliminate upfront counting FTEs

    • More accurate data

    • Ability to proactively set alerts

    • Reduction in supply hoarding

    • Reduction in supply department theft

    • Improved staff morale and workload

    • Mid sized hospital saves $60+K/month in labor alone

How the Intellibinz solution works
