IDN Procurement and Supply Chain: Identifying and Delivering Value to the Organization
KPMG and Coupa would like to bring in leading IDNs to have a robust discussion on one of the most pressing topics of the day: how does Procurement and Supply Chain demonstrate “Value”. The goal of this focus group is to a) better understand how IDNs measure and assess the value delivered by supply chain and procurement, and b) gather insights on how transformation efforts and enabling technologies can help maximize the value across the IDN organization. KPMG and Coupa will moderate a discussion on:
- Core business goals: At the highest level, what are your core business goals and drivers? How does your procurement/supply chain strategy contribute to meeting these business goals?
- How does the procurement/supply chain function define success? Outcomes, metrics, ROI?
- What specific processes have contributed to achieving or missing your goals? How do your processes align with delivering value?
- How does that differ by spend category: Med-Surg, Implantable Device, Pharma, Purchased Services and Capital
- What technology features/functionality will provide the greatest impact at your organization?
- What Supply chain transformation initiatives have you undertaken? What was the initial focus? How did it progress? How did you obtain funding? What was the team structure? Any lessons learned?
- After the transformation, how do you maintain executive focus and energy around Procurement and Supply Chain?

Ultimately, success depends upon the organization’s ability to compile and integrate complex cross-departmental data to deliver timely, reliable, insightful and actionable information. How well are your current analytic methods and business intelligence tools meeting these requirements? If you fail to evolve in the area of actionable healthcare analytics, what are the opportunity costs in terms of time, care and dollars?
