| Spine Implants Overwhelming Your OR Supply
Chain and CS Operation? |
As highlighted in the November 2009 issues
of Healthcare Purchasing News, there's a new solution to "backdoor"
or "after the fact" implant purchases. William Beaumont
Hospitals in Michigan provide an indepth description of the hurdles they faced
in managing their $30 million implant spend and the solution they
deployed to this long term, industry wide challenge.
Beaumont's solution is a web-application
called HandOff®, from BlackTie Medical. HandOff® targets
hospital supply purchases, mainly orthopedics, spine/neuro and
CRM products that do not go through the standard purchasing process
and are not represented in the Materials Management System's (MMIS) Item Master
File. These informal and irregular purchases are usually high-priced items that
are brought in by vendor representatives for specific patient cases
and therefore, the process, pricing and transactions cannot be fully
automated or controlled by the typical MMIS. The result is
that hospitals are forced to apply significant labor to documenting
and confirming bill-only product utilization, determining pricing and reporting
on spend by physician and they often still miss out on applicable
discounts.
With a feature rich platform that includes
physician/procedure documentation, contract price look up, capitation
management, approval workflows, automatic requisition submission and reporting,
HandOff® appears to be poised to establish a new standard for automation and
accuracy.
