Rely On the Numbers: Don’t Be Dissuaded By Others
On this week’s episode of Power Supply Articles On-the-Go, Bob Yokl discusses why wrong data isn’t the end of the conversation: “There is no doubt about it, statistics, benchmarks, and analytics can be off base or even completely wrong, but from our experience they can easily be revised with new information, a few minutes of dialog, and some fortitude. For instance, one time we benchmarked a hospital’s bath kits’ utilization as being too high only to find out that this hospital didn’t have any private bathrooms. All of this hospital’s bathrooms were in their hallways, so bed baths were more frequent than other hospitals. Naturally, we had to revise our benchmark to reflect this new fact. But this didn’t mean we couldn’t use this new benchmark in our bath kit value analysis study. That’s the point of this article…” Loving the #PowerSupply conversations?

Passing the Sniff Test: How to Validate Supply Costs
Episodes NOW CEC APPROVED for AHRMM members! // What if 60-80 percent of items on your surgical preference cards were not actually needed? How much time does staff waste pulling supplies for cases that aren’t used, let alone the time it takes to return all these items back to the shelf? Can preference card optimization help reduce costs, increase efficiency, and improve revenue capture – and if so what are the steps to begin this process? By reviewing and updating preference cards, healthcare organizations can ensure that they are using the most cost-effective supplies, while still meeting the needs of the surgical team and the patient. On this week’s episode join Hays, Garry, and Justin as they meet with Drew Preslar, Assistant VP of insight Advisory Solutions at HealthTrust Performance Group, to discuss how optimizing surgical preference cards can help healthcare organizations identify and reduce supply costs associated with surgical procedures. With the challenges faced in staffing, supply shortages and decreasing revenues it is increasingly important to ensure that supply chain partners with clinical teams to identify and reduce costs in surgical procedures. Preference card optimization can help decrease these costs while also improving overall efficiency and patient outcomes. Reach out to your clinical colleagues and tune in together, you don’t want to miss this episode!
