13 April 2010 Status

14 Regional Hospital Supply Chains Implementation: funded pre-07 funded Underway/ partial funding Regional hospital supply chains have been or are being established for 70% of the sector, up from 25% in 2004.

15 Negotiating contracts and running RFP s on behalf of 6 member hospitals since June COHPA is leading a team of hospital representatives to seek product standardization opportunities. The transformation to standardized processes, paperless transactions and an independent service provider has generated considerable frustration among hospital users. 15

16 Savings for COHPA Members FY 2008/2009 $1.0M, approx 5% of contract value FY 2009/2010 $2.9M

17 Purchasing Metrics 1200 users (e-requisitioners) in 5 cities 350 purchase orders placed per day (7 Buyers) 85% of requisitions placed as PO s same or next day FY 2009/2010 volumes 20% over budget 46,000 catalogue items 17

18 Materials Management Hospital Supplies supply carts per hospital items per cart or bin Hospital technician scans via handheld device to generate replenishment order Overnight delivery, next day restocking 98.5% line fill rate Master services agreement with uniform pricing and service expectations, Third Party Logistics (3PL) provider 18

19 Finance Metrics 700 invoice payments per day (8 Accts payable staff) Approximately $1.5M per day in disbursements 80% of vendor payments by Electronic Funds Transfer All employee expense payments for 5 hospitals All physician payments for 5 hospitals 19

Reimbursements. Non P/O s 22

23 Materials management Denise MacLean Before After Result Supplies On site storerooms Just in time replenishment 3 way match Paper invoices and receiving reports Best Practices Technology Supplier Relationship Management Hospital Employees working with hospital team Each hospital using their own technology Each hospital working with each supplier Electronic Purchases, receipts and invoices Collaboration between member hospital with working teams Shared Technology Platform Suppliers managed against combined scorecards Frees up Healthcare $ for patient care Frees up physical space, working capital and people All transactions are automatically captured in the system Standardized work processes: cycle counting, receiving Better flow of information, less manual work, better data for decisions Improved supplier performance

24 Back Office Consolidation Before After Result Collaboration Individual organizations with independent, local processes for purchasing and accounts payable Centralized, standardized process for all stakeholders After settling period, streamlined and efficient work processes Building Relationships Occasional meetings of key players at conferences and special events Regular monthly meetings of four working teams Ongoing benchmarking and dialogue in pursuit of mutual benefits Thinking Outside the Box Paper requisitions Cheques Just do it Paperless processes EFT payments 3 way match Streamlined processes, increased accountability Patient Safety- Device Alerts Individual organizations with independent, local processes Single point of contact, standardized process subject to audit Timely and reliable deployment of information to clinical users 24

27 Lessons learned

28 Southlake Regional Health Centre What went well: Member hospital involvement in IT solution Regular meetings for each stream of work On site support for end users post go live Focus group meetings to build awareness and understanding Hospital advocate allocated Dedicated staff committed to the project 28

29 Southlake Regional Health Centre What could have been improved: Aggressive time lines impacted quality data, internal communications and planning Spend the time to develop Detailed process maps (as is, to be) Lack of available resources for the hospitals (back fill not considered or identified early enough in the project) Key people at both COHPA and member hospital required to work unreasonable hours for an extended period of time to meet deadlines End users did not have the ability to practice after training Training for Super Users not sufficient Product shortages due to vendors not having COHPA set up as a customer Critical issues with systems and processes at go live: o Handhelds not functional in Distribution o Handheld and scanning issues in Receiving o Workload increase due to additional receiving steps 29

30 Markham Stouffville Hospital Spend time mapping out work processes (as is to be) Ensure that all current work processes have a way to be done in the new environment Align Staffing before cutting over Investigate whether current staffing exists to properly support required work effort in the new environment Clean up Spend time cleaning up current state so that old data is not transferred into new technology platform Validate and test Ensure that the data build in the new technology platform is correct and that it works Training Over train people on the new system and work processes

31 Future opportunities... Back office shared services

32 Leverage group spend for joint RFP s and contracts, driving increased value for scarce health care dollars. Participate in working teams to benchmark leading practices, apply technology and share learnings with other members of the group. Leverage group size and supplier relationships to achieve things like JIT inventory management, freeing up storage space and working capital. Utilize internet-based technology for requisitions, catalogue, purchasing, materials management and accounts payable free up administrative staff for core services 32
