Centralizing parts procurement saves money, increases technician productivity.

A few years ago, Alan Gresch and his regional managers were talking about the money that a technician had saved purchasing a particularly expensive piece of equipment. “I wonder if anyone else knows about this?” Gresch idly said aloud. Chances were slim that anyone else in the 13-hospital Aurora Health Care system knew about that particular deal. At that time technicians were each responsible for sourcing their own parts, and there was no formal or centralized system in place for sharing information. All of that would change in January 2006, though, when a comprehensive reorganization of Aurora’s clinical engineering department was undertaken. As part of that effort the entire parts ordering process was revamped and centralized, resulting in huge benefits to the entire healthcare system.
