What we generally see as laymen when we walk into a hospital is a reception, pharmacy, a few rooms with patients and some people walking around in white coats called doctors and nurses. Did we ever imagine what goes into maintaining this hospital and making sure the doctors are able to serve the patients coming in on a regular basis? I can say that the answer is ?no? with out any hesitation.

So what actually happens at the backend? How do hospitals manage all the data related to inflow & out flow of patients, surgical equipment, finances, drugs and so on? The answer to these questions is Information Technology.

In case of hospitals there is one thing that plays a major role in allowing them to concentrate on patient care rather than critical medical staff tracking supplies from thousands of vendors (manufacturers, distributors); an ?Efficient Supply Chain Management System?.

SCM represents as much as 15-30% of net patient revenues and changing prime vendors and major suppliers affects an entire healthcare system. The key stakeholders in this process are depicted here in an oversimplified picture

Supply Chain Management is absolutely critical for hospitals and here are a few statistics that prove this fact:

• Data cleansing accounts for up to 70% cost and effort in implementing data warehousing projects
• Dirty data costs U.S. businesses $600 billion per year (source: Data Warehousing Institute)
• Industry average to process PO manually is $75, automated PO is $10-$30
• 40% of buyer?s time, 68% of accounts payable time is spent on manual processing of PO
• 25% of hospital supply administration time is spent on cleaning and correcting data inaccuracies
• 54% of materials management purchases and 35% of surgical purchases are made using EDI/ Internet
• 70% of errors in EDI transactions can be attributed to inconsistencies between product data held by buyers and seller

Healthcare Data Quality Management

Data Quality Management helps hospitals create an Item Master and Vendor Master. It is an enormous task which can be estimated when we understand that there are more than half-a-million products from ~7000 vendors (manufacturers and distributors) being purchased by ~ 5000 healthcare providers in the U.S. alone.

These products can be grouped in categories like:

1. Administrative & Office Products

2. Clinical Laboratory Products

3. Clinical, Professional & Other Services

4. Medical & Surgical Products

5. Medical Education & Information Resources

6. Operations, Support & Architectural Products

7. Pharmaceutical Products

8. Others

Bodhtree Consulting Ltd has completed four successful years in Supply Chain Management in engagement with a U.S distributor of hospital supplies. The software application, spend and contract management services and data analytics solutions built on the base of quality data cleansing services we provide have given us insights into the approach needed to handle the issues of data management in the Healthcare industry.

Some of the best practices we recommend based on our experience in this domain are

• Devise a plan for continuous update of product catalog description
• Periodically review Product Classification
• Evaluate functional equivalences – start with high spend PO items
• Automate relevant processes
• Revisit contract terms and evaluate better pricing tiers
• Negotiate contract for items not purchased via contract
• Schedule parity report for quarterly review
• Reduce order processing cost – implement electronic orders and contracts
• Integrate Accounts Payable, Purchasing Systems across IDN
• Review processes within purchasing departments
• Implement ‘custom designed’ Analytics on Demand – AOD using industry standard KPIs

It is well known that what you can measure, you manage. Data quality is no different, so first you must define what good data is, then measure, analyze, improve and control it so that you know where you are on the data asset improvement journey at any time. Maintaining data quality is an ongoing process. It is a continuous challenge, but doable with the right processes and commitment.

The Middle East Healthcare Sector is expected to be worth US$60 billion by 2025 as the need for investment in facilities and services escalates. No other region in the world faces such rapid growth in demand.? Keeping this in mind, Bodhtree is more than pleased to be participating in the 3rd Annual Middle East Healthcare Expansion Summit in Dubai on the 30 and 31st of March 2010.

This summit is an example of the seriousness of the Middle Eastern Countries to expand their horizons in providing state of the art healthcare infrastructure to the world. It is also evident that Information Technology is going to play a vital role in the development of such infrastructure.

Bodhtree has been playing a vital role in multiple service offerings to the healthcare sector. Hospitals lose millions of dollars mainly due to lack of visibility in their spend patterns. This problem has been addressed by MIDAS- a solution from Bodhtree for spend data management and solving data anomalies.

After successful implementation of MIDAS in the US and Asian markets, we are happy to expand our footprints into the MENA region by marking our presence at the 3rd Annual Middle East Expansion Summit 2010. We truly appreciate the idea and motive of this summit; giving opportunity to companies from across the world to showcase what they have to contribute to the future of? healthcare in the Middle East.

In 1995 “Internet” was the new Buzz word in the business world. Some predicted it would not work, some thought it would; it did and today it is the basis for all kinds of business. So much so that nothing can work with out internet.

With the World Wide Web evolving, web 2.0 and web 3.0 have come into picture. Whats their use? What did they get along and what do they have to offer? Commom questions indeed. The answer is “Cloud Computing“! Social Media marketing is the new trend companies have been adopting and still are. But during this evolutin, another one creeped up alongside. The companies that use platforms like twitter and facebook for online marketing are now coming up with their own platforms of collaboration.

One such example is Salesforce which introduced “Chatter” on their force.com platform. Chatter is a revolutionary way for companies to collaborate. It is a combination of facebook and twitter. This is one revolutionary trend thats going to hit the corporate world very soon. SAP EcoHub is another such example. These are online business communities for collaboration and mutual business benefits. this shows that B2B more works with cooperation than competition. Companies like Salesforce have introduced Chatter for their CRM users to also connect their employees internally on this cloud. More over, it also provides its CRM service on the cloud!

Cloud Computing is definitely a huge sigh of relief in this time when we are just climbing out of recession. Great concept that has huge potential for wider acceptance. As the current generation grows with facebook and twitter, its logical for them to expect similar tools in their workplace.

Its time for us to have cloud economics. Economists should take a look at them seriously. As internet, cloud concept is going to stay and change the way we do business. When businesses succeed they create large trade areas and when trade happens its going to impact economies.

With more and more companies adopting to the Cloud Computing model, Bodhtree?s vision for the SaaS and cloud computing Center of Excellence is to quickly apply the emerging standards, tools and technology and demonstrate the virtualization of services and processes in the new world so that companies can embrace its dedicated CoE for cloud computing and SaaS.

Bodhtree appreciates SiliconIndia’s efforts to bring to light the contribution of women leaders to the increasing success of businesses, families and communities in our country. We are delighted to have Dr. Akila Jaikumar, Sr. Vice President & Director as a speaker at the Women Leadership Summit organized by SiliconIndia in Hyderabad on 5th March 2010 http://bit.ly/avL1db

It really encourages us to appreciate and accept the fact that its the era of Women Leadership in the so called Man’s world.

Women in India are no longer the housewives who were expected to be in the confined boxes of being at home and looking after the family. As they say, the box has been torn apart and it is the era of women entrepreneurs who give healthy competition to their male counterparts. With the increasing standard of living, it has become not just a priority but in some sense a necessity for women to break the barriers of orthodox? mentalities. Though many are still oblivious to the changing times, there are more who have come out as nothing but outstanding in almost every walk of professional life.

From Kiran Bedi, the first woman IPS officer India has seen to Kalpana Chawla, an astronaut for whom sky wasn’t the limit; Indian women are examples and role models for the many young girls of the country still struggling and aspiring to be there one day. They have made the male dominated corporate sector of our country realize the importance of having a personal touch of a female mind to be able to grow and succeed as a business entity.

One such woman is Dr. Akila Jaikumar, Sr. Vice President& Director at Bodhtree Consulting Ltd. Akila holds a Ph.D. in Materials Science from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore and received the Vittal N Chandavarkar award for the best thesis in the department of Engineering. She has published 13 papers in international scientific journals related to her doctoral thesis and post-doctoral work. She started off as a scientist in the CSIR Lab and then made her mark over the past 15 years in the IT industry. Besides heading the Competency Excellence Group at Virtusa, managing large global teams, working with international clients and overseeing multiple projects simultaneously, being responsible for on-time delivery of projects and operations of the delivery group including staffing, budgeting, revenue growth, pre-sales, domain and technology competency building, capacity building, client relationship management and administration are some of her accomplishments.

We wish the best to SiliconIndia in their efforts.
