Improve CSC Financials

Without question, we know that the self-distribution model produces substantial value if operated correctly. If consolidated financials do not exist, we can help build a detailed pro forma. And more importantly - help redefine and enhance your health systems original business case.

Once financials are set, then it’s a case of adding more value-producing services. Some of the more common service programs are:

1. Negotiation, or renegotiation, of supplier funding agreements. If you are buying direct from manufactures into the CSC then you may be leaving a lot of money on the table. This requires an understanding of supplier economics to maximize your revenue potential. To accelerate revenue generation, our Healthcare Supply Chain team can negotiate these agreements on your behalf. We will work with your team to develop these skills in-house.
2. Adding more direct spend categories is a very natural next-step. A plan and strategy must be developed taking into consideration variables such as funding agreements, product categories, supplier relationships, conversion of spend to the CSC and so on.
3. Adding a pharmacy self-distribution program will have many layers. This process must take into consideration programs beyond drug redistribution. This program is loaded with value in terms of financial savings and immense control. Alleviating much of the pain associated with drug shortages.
4. Direct offshore sourcing is a game changer. If done successfully, most healthcare supply chain initiatives move costs down the marginal cost curve. Offshore sourcing shifts the marginal cost curve downward. Its use in system standardization can’t be beat. The problem? This takes very special knowledge on the proper use of international commercial terms (Incoterms 2020), international contracting, advance banking, and not to mention skills in global logistics. Unlike other organizations, RiseNow brings multi-industry, global supply chain experience to support your sourcing, contracting and value analysis teams.
5. There are several non-clinical shared services that can be consolidated and centrally managed within a CSC. Our team can help you build the business case and maximize the synergies of co-locating ancillary services. These may include:
   1. CPT assembly and sterilization; patient kits
   2. Biomed/clinical engineering
   3. Equipment maintenance
   4. IT stocking, burn-in, deployment and returns management
   5. Printshop and mail
