Healthcare leaders face pressures from every direction.

Reimbursements declining while costs rise. Workforce shortages constraining capacity. Drug and supply expenses escalating faster than revenue growth. Cybersecurity threats demanding investment. The shift to ambulatory care multiplying operational complexity. Digital transformation lagging behind other industries.

You can't control most of these forces. But you can control how your supply chain responds to them.

Supply chain represents one of healthcare's largest variable costs and one of the biggest sources of operational inefficiency. It's also one of the few areas where transformation can deliver measurable results quickly enough to matter.

Traditional internal lean programs promise improvement in 3 to 5 years. Your market conditions won't wait that long. Your board won't wait that long. Your clinical staff dealing with daily supply frustrations won't wait that long.

BlueBin's Speed to Quality Transformation delivers results in months:

• 7% supply expense reduction as percentage of net patient revenue
• 30% operational efficiency improvement
• 50% reduction in clinical time wasted on supply hunts
• 99.9% fill rate eliminating stockout disruptions

Three hundred healthcare locations managing 2.2 million bins daily prove this approach works at scale. BJC HealthCare's 7.9x ROI proves the financial case. Einstein Medical Center's Magnet achievement proves the clinical impact.

The transformation doesn't require years of internal capability building. It requires partnering with proven expertise, turnkey implementation methodology, and embedded coaching that ensures sustainable results.

Your executive team is evaluating which operational challenges to tackle first. Which investments will move the needle fast enough to matter. Which improvements can actually be sustained.

Supply chain transformation checks all three boxes. If you choose the right approach.

Transform your healthcare supply chain 4x faster than traditional methods with BlueBin's proven process and backed by customer results.

Your hospital sees 10% of supply chain costs.

The other 90%? Lurking beneath the surface.

Above water: Purchase price (10%)

Below water:
• Distribution costs (15-20%)
• Holding costs (10-15%)
• Clinical time burden (30-40%)
• Stockout impact (10-15%)
• Expiration waste (5-8%)

Total Cost of Ownership is an iceberg. Purchase price is just the tip.

Most hospitals optimize what they can see. Winners optimize what they can't.

Purchase price is just 20% of the story. Discover the hidden costs of supply hunts, expired inventory, and rush orders costing hospitals millions.

Your supply chain costs 10 times more than your invoices show.
Healthcare organizations obsess over purchase price negotiations. A few percentage points on IV solutions. Better rates on surgical supplies. Volume discounts on pharmaceuticals.
Meanwhile, the real costs remain invisible:

• Clinical time wasted hunting for supplies
• Procedures cancelled due to stockouts
• Capital trapped in excess inventory
• Expired products written off
• Premium space consumed by inefficient storage
• Staff burnout from non-standard workflows
• Emergency orders at higher costs

Twenty-four percent of clinicians report using expired products. Forty percent of procedures get cancelled over missing supplies. Your nurses spend more time managing inventory than some of your supply chain staff.

These costs never appear on a purchase order, but they're destroying your margins just as effectively as rising supplier prices.

BlueBin's Speed to Quality Transformation addresses the total cost of supply chain operations, not just acquisition expense:

• 7% reduction in supply expense as percentage of net patient revenue
• 15% reduction in overall inventory holding costs
• 30% improvement in operational efficiency
• 25% reduction in space needed for supply storage

This is why BJC HealthCare achieved a 7.9x ROI. This is why Einstein Medical Center credits BlueBin as their top factor in Magnet achievement.

Stop negotiating pennies while losing dollars. Transform the entire supply chain economics.
