Let’s start with a short story
The program in action: Phlebotomy supply shortage (Fall 2021)
Disruption identified
Through ongoing monitoring services provided through the program, signals were picked up arounda potential shortage of specific phlebotomy supplies more than three weeks before it becamecommon knowledge.
Illumination and sourcing expertise put to action
Our members flew into action when they received the alert from Deloitte. The program was able to identify alternative supply options, verify supplier legitimacy with vendor intelligence, and support stockpiling activities, which led to one health care provider member gaining up to 120 days ofsafety stock.
Disruption hits mass markets
By the time the mass market found out about the shortages, the primary manufacturers had alreadyput all provider customers on allocation—meaning there was no longer an opportunityto stockpile or even receive outstanding orders. Also, unverified third party suppliersstarted approaching providers selling product at five times the normal price.
Outcomes
The program helped its members ensure the availability of critical supplies without jeopardizingquality of patient care and them having to pay exceptional cost. One provider experienced $450,000in cost avoidance and the supply chain team looked good in the process, in front of both seniorexecutives and clinicians.
