eMarketplace: Spend Visibility and Control

How many of your contracted products (including PPI) and services are managed in your item master? 25 percent? 75 percent? Ever wonder how you’ll gain visibility to all of your spend?

If you’re like most healthcare organizations, there are thousands of items that are managed outside of the item master – especially items used in the surgical suite, cath lab, or patient care areas. Although the traditional item master is the perfect tool for managing stocked items, huge catalogs of contracted, non-stock items, like expensive implants and medical devices, require new tools that are easy to manage and even easier to use.

That solution is an eMarketplace. SciQuest’s eMarketplace gives you access to your critical medical-surgical items, physician preference items (PPI), and non-clinical contracted items through a private Web platform. The solution:

• Automates the procurement and requisitioning process
• Ensures users select and order the right products for the right procedures
• Presents the preferred, contracted goods and services with each search through an easily navigated web interface
• Handles large volumes of contract and product data that undergo frequent updates
• Provides detail about the products used and ordered
• Supports user requisitioning by offering detailed, meaningful product descriptions and attributes, including product images and photographs
• Matches each item to contract price to validate price with every procurement process

Users have freedom. Materials Managers have control and visibility.
Tired of processing orders prepared by vendors? Missing line item detail for products used in the operating room? With the eMarketplace, product searching and selection is easy, improving your on-contract spend for the most difficult to track items. Blanket purchase orders (POs) are replaced by detailed POs that include the correct price for every item. The days of relying on your vendor for updated spend data are over. With SciQuest, your supply chain is in synch– all with no more resources than you use today to manage the item master.

Users around the hospital can support on-contract spend and compliance efforts through simple, intuitive product searches.
