7 Strategic Sourcing The benefits of using versus not using Strategic Sourcing Example of a facility using Strategic Sourcing for Pharmaceuticals Customer Area Inventory Management (CAIM) User must have the correct role assigned to use the Strategic Sourcing Module Contact your site DMLSS Systems Administrator

8 Strategic Sourcing Access Strategic Sourcing from CAIM Strategic Sourcing Criteria Equivalent Preferred Item Identifies catalog records that have a preferred or standardized product available Sites are encouraged to utilize preferred products to the greatest extent possible These recommendations should be coordinated with clinical staff and/or Pharmacist prior to implementation

9 Strategic Sourcing Better Source Same item Identifies items being purchased that have a better sourcing option Better Sourcing defined as: Alternate PVON with preferred or lower pricing Higher precedence supplier (PVP/PVM/ECT) Requires user acceptance/awareness because there may be usage forecast or other considerations Move to ecommerce Identifies items being purchased from non-ecommerce sources that have sourcing options from an ecommerce source (PVP/PVM/ECT)

10 Strategic Sourcing Equivalent Item Better Source Identifies functionality equivalent products that have a lower unit price Requires coordination with clinical staff to ensure alternate product meets standards of care/clinical stability Move Brand Drug to Generic Equivalent Identifies currently cataloged Brand name products that have contracted Generic equivalents available Requires coordination with clinical staff to ensure alternate product meets standards of care/clinical stability
