IRVING, TX -- 11/04/09 --
As hospitals escalate their efforts to decrease
supply chain expenses, VHA Inc., the national healthcare network, has
launched VHA DataLYNX(TM), the newest component in its robust VHA
SupplyLYNX(TM) analytics arsenal. Designed to help hospitals improve the
quality of their item master, increase their efficiency and shrink their
supply chain costs by linking data with insight, VHA SupplyLYNX helped
hospitals save more than $700 million in 2008.
Using the industry's most robust data and applying open industry standards,
VHA DataLYNX helps hospitals analyze, consolidate, categorize and classify
their item master data to improve its quality and accuracy. This process
allows hospitals to better understand their supply spend and initiate more
efficient purchasing. Incorporating exclusive quarterly reports, VHA
DataLYNX assures continuing data accuracy and ongoing cost-savings
opportunities.
"Having an accurate and up-to-date item master is critical to maintaining
an efficient purchasing process," said Scott Downing, executive vice
president, Supply Chain Management at VHA. "The benefits provide the basis
for an optimal supply chain model."
Hospitals that are using VHA DataLYNX benefit from increased labor
efficiencies, a reduction in inventory levels and reduced logistic costs,
all attributable to the improved quality of their item master.
"VHA DataLYNX is at the foundation of any analytical approach to managing
our business. With accurate data, systems become integrated, information is
consistent and operations become more efficient," said Joe Dudas, director,
Accounting and Supply Chain Informatics, Mayo Clinic.
