Don’t Wait: The Train is Leaving the Station
As I mentioned in my column in early April, a recent survey by Novation reported that 44% of the healthcare organizations they surveyed have decided to focus on utilization management as their new path to savings for their hospital, system or IDN. Are you one of the 44%?
To me this Novation survey means don’t wait the train is leaving the station on utilization management. It’s the fastest growing new discipline in supply chain management. That’s why you too need to be on this fast moving train.
Every decade or so a new idea, innovation or invention is discovered, revealed or uncovered in healthcare supply chain management that literary changes the game as we know it. By definition, a game changing event changes the rules or is a variation on old rules which makes it into an entirely a NEW GAME. Take my word for it Utilization management is one of these game changing events.
We have been engaged for nine years now in intensive utilization research and comprehensive utilization studies. We have been retained by hundreds of clients in real world utilization management projects that have generated 7% to 15% in new supply chain savings – beyond price. That’s why I can make these seemingly bold statements about this new discipline.
If you are looking for even more information about this emerging best practice, I would suggest that you download my special report, “Utilization Management: The Future of Supply Chain Management”, before the train leaves the station.
