By Making Its Supply Chain Efficient, Phoebe Putney Health Is Able To Allocate More Resources To Patients.
“It’s all about the patient.”
A lot of, if not all, healthcare organizations make this statement when it comes to the inner workings of their hospitals and facilities. But you know it rings true when even the man in charge of the company’s supply chain is saying it.
Trey French is that man. He’s the Corporate Director of Operations for Phoebe Putney Health Systems’ supply chain, in charge of strategic planning, development, operations, and the performance that directs the overall success of the company’s supply chain.
Founded in 1911, Phoebe Putney is a not-for-profit healthcare delivery system that serves a population of more than a half million residents in Southwest Georgia. With more than 4,300 employees, the system is made up of three hospitals, family medicine clinics, rehabilitation facilities, and specialty physician offices.
“Phoebe is a family of providers, supported by networks of suppliers, who deliver world-class care with a hometown feel,” French continued. “People are often here on some of the worst days of their lives. We make sure they are part of the process, part of our family, and leave better than the way they came.”
With his constant vigilance of the supply chain, French and his value implementation program (VIP) team are able to bring costs down, maintain a high quality of care through supply, and ultimately give clinicians and nurses room to do their job: convalesce the patient.
PHOEBE PUTNEY LEADERSHIP
VIP teams are comprised of a multi-disciplinary group, including clinicians and employees from the finance and supply chain departments. They lead Phoebe Putney in performing due diligence to determine what the best options are to provide high clinical-quality outcomes. The teams use a value-based purchasing methodology to determine the best option.
