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
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
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)
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
Strategic Sourcing Process Icon, Vertical toolbar Allows the user to Accept, Reject a recommendation “Holding” a product is also available from the Reject Icon Depends on the site reason for Rejecting
Strategic Sourcing Accept Icon Yes, you want to accept the recommendation into your catalog Information window (what’s best for you) YES – Change the current catalog record NO – Use a new or different catalog record
Strategic Sourcing Reject Icon Defers decision, not really a reject
Strategic Sourcing Understanding how Strategic Sourcing can impact daily workflow: Are there benefits? How often should Strategic Sourcing be worked? What is the best way to implement a Strategic Sourcing Maintenance plan? How often is contract data updated?
