THE PROJECT

Improving healthcare purchasing management

Improving and speeding up internal and external purchasing processes, effectively tracking requests for goods between departments and business departments, are the reasons that lead a healthcare company to adopt the new procurement system created by Healthy Reply through Oracle ERP Self Service Procurement Cloud.

Among the hospitals that have implemented this solution there is also the Milan Polyclinic, the first public hospitalization and treatment institution (IRCCS) for the scientific research produced, and an international reference center for various diseases.

A necessary change

New management models for a resilient future

Often, Italian healthcare organizations find it difficult to manage business due to the fragmentation of some internal processes and the presence of various information systems that are poorly integrated with each other. In recent years, there has been a particular need to innovate the health system and define more robust management models: in particular, it has become essential to optimize the processes for the supply of goods and implement new models for controlling expenditure and resources.

a successful collaboration

Policlinico di Milano relies on Healthy Reply and Oracle ERP Cloud

The development of an articulated and complex solution requires skills in the ERP and healthcare fields. Hence the collaboration between the Milan Polyclinic and Healthy Reply, a company specialized in the implementation of the Oracle ERP Cloud suite for the healthcare sector, which led to the creation of an innovative solution based on Oracle Self Service Procurement Cloud.

Healthy Reply has supported the Polyclinic throughout the transformation process: from the design of a new operating model capable of harmonizing the purchasing processes between the different departments, to the implementation of Oracle ERP Self Service Procurement Cloud, up to its integration with the Polyclinic's Oracle ERP system for end-to-end management of procurement activities.

Traceability and cost analysis

It automatically charges consumption to the various cost centers for a correct management analysis of the costs, through fully computerized supply requests.

Real-time monitoring

It allows those responsible for supply expenditure to verify the trend of appropriations and to monitor in real time the expenses per Cost Center and for research projects. In this way, respect for the allocated budget and containment of expenditure are guaranteed.

Thanks to this collaboration, we have significantly optimized internal purchasing processes, further improving operational efficiency and execution times. A result that has allowed us to respond more precisely to the criteria of effectiveness and efficiency that are specific to the public body, and to better manage the process of analyzing and verifying the different spending budgets.
