Case Study: Health Future Looks To The Future, Gains Transparency & Cost Savings Across The Supply Chain With MedAssets

With a network of hospitals across Oregon and Nevada, including facilities using different materials management systems and no common item master, Health Future, LLC lacked a means to aggregate data across the system and gain an accurate picture of its supply expenses. Without this insight, Health Future was unable to identify strategic cost savings opportunities or make informed decisions based on accurate and up-to-date supply chain information.

The lack of visibility across its supply chain also posed significant barriers to achieving Health Future's goal of becoming a true Integrated Delivery Network (IDN) and taking advantage of the cost savings opportunities enjoyed by IDNs across member groups.

To achieve greater transparency across the network and capture cost savings system-wide, Health Future needed a way to "see" across its disparate systems to assess its supply spend and turn that data into business intelligence for driving operational improvements.
