Healthcare Supply Chain Solutions
Eight ways to boost efficiency and profits
Supply Chain Solutions, a unit of The Broadlane Group™, knows how to overcome inefficient sourcing. We can do that because some 400 of our employees actually manage supply chains at more than 120 hospitals. No one else in the business can say that—or anything close.
We’ve distilled our supply chain expertise into several offerings. No matter which ones you choose, you’ll find new ways to come out ahead.
BroadLink™ E-Commerce Platform
Phone and fax processes to place purchase orders, and keying of invoices consume valuable time and can lead to errors. BroadLink solves both problems. Broadlane’s proprietary e-commerce platform will automate your procurement process, lowering your transaction costs and boosting your labor efficiency.
Velocity Spend Analytics Platform
Broadlane’s patent-pending portal turns raw purchasing transaction data into an action plan for supply cost reduction. Velocity identifies opportunities to put spend under contract, reduce the number of vendors, convert non-contracted products to contracted products and pay the right price.
Supply Chain Best Practices Assessment
One of the side benefits of managing supply chains is the knowledge of which operational practices and performance metrics matter and which ones don’t. It turns out that 200 do, and we’ve put them into our assessment. This consulting service will grade your performance against the best in the business and suggest specific steps for major improvements.
Interim Management Services
When you need short-term, on-site leadership in purchasing or materials, turn to Broadlane. When you need assistance on a specific supply chain operational issue, turn to Broadlane. We can help bridge your staffing and operational needs.
Item Master Services
Error-prone item masters cause confusion and higher costs through rework and off-contract spending. Broadlane’s Item Master Services replaces the chaos with synchronized data of the most relevant items. Choose a one-time, monthly, or on-going data cleanse to standardize your product list.
Transaction Management Services
Transaction Management Services works as an extension of your hospital’s purchasing department to process orders and eliminate price discrepancies. Then you can settle your bills with confidence that you’re paying the right amount.
Supply Chain Management
Broadlane oversees $4 billion of annual supply spend on behalf of our clients. We call it Supply Chain Management. Our clients call it the easiest way to keep supply costs under control.
