Ordina streamlines Martini Hospital procurement processes
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Process optimisation and hospital-specific ERP system help reduce costs
Nieuwegein, 23 August 2013
The Martini Hospital in Groningen has chosen Ordina as its partner for the
optimisation of its procurement, logistics and financial processes. In the
coming five years, Ordina will help the Martini hospital to realise cost-savings
of at least 2.5% on its procurement costs through the optimisation of its
procurement process and the implementation of a healthcare-specific ERP
solution. The five-year agreement has an estimated value of around EUR 1.7
million. This new contract further strengthens Ordina's presence in the
healthcare market.
The Martini Hospital is launching the so-called Topfit programme with aim of
realising savings on secondary processes in order to release more budget for
healthcare innovations and by doing so further improving the care the hospital
provides. One of the secondary processes where savings are possible is the
procurement of materials and services. Ordina will implement a standardised ERP
system specifically designed for hospitals, which among other things will give
the Martini Hospital access to a complete overview of all purchasing costs.
Ordina will subsequently optimise the procurement processes at the hospital. The
purchasing process will be linked to internal 'webshops', where end-users such
as doctors and nurses can order the materials they require quickly and
efficiently. The combination of process optimisation and the smart use of IT
will enable the Martini Hospital to both improve its procurement and save costs.
Hans Gellekink, Director of the Finances and Care Administration department at
the Martini Hospital, on the Topfit programme: "The aim of this project is to
launch a new system at the Martini Hospital quickly and efficiently, a system
that has already proven its worth at other hospitals. We will create a more
efficient process which will also give improved and accelerated access to
financial information. The process of ordering via webshops is convenient for
the end-users, while we see numerous opportunities for savings because we will
have greater control of the procurement process. We have chosen Ordina on the
basis of performance-based purchasing. We did not want to buy a system; we
wanted to realise a business case. Ordina guarantees the agreed performance and
we give them the room to operate as an expert."
"We are entering a unique collaboration with the Martini Hospital," says Barend
de Zoete, Director of Professional Services & Projects at Ordina. "Over the next
five years, we will join forces with the Martini Hospital to realise a common
goal, savings of 2.5% on the hospital's procurement costs. To achieve this goal,
we will not only use our know-how of hospital and expertise in change processes,
we will also begin the implementation of an ERP system. We developed this system
in cooperation with the Haaglanden Hospital in The Hague. It provides a
standardised ERP system based on Oracle eBS, and includes a number of hospital-
specific functionalities. This will enable the Martini Hospital to benefit from
a standardised ERP system that is optimised for the specific processes of
hospitals. It is a great example of co-creation between an IT services provider
and the healthcare market, aimed at helping to cut costs in the healthcare
sector."
