Cost Reduction Solutions for Hospitals: With a guaranteed 7:1* ROI, E-MUSIC will save you money

In order to help our hospital clients cope with increasing pressures to provide more for their patients with less money, Plante & Moran’s management consultants have developed a cost reduction solution with a guaranteed ROI of 7:1* and an expected ROI of 9:1.

E-MUSIC is a decision implementation service that helps hospitals End Medically Unnecessary Supplies in In-patient Care. E-MUSIC zeroes in on the 80,000 different items and resources that hospitals use, from shoe covers to repair contracts, and looks for ways to minimize usage and cut costs. 

There are no catches

E-MUSIC is a cost reduction solution that can achieve the promised bottom-line savings with no layoffs and no reduction in quality of care. The physicians, nurses, and operations improvement consultants who developed E-MUSIC have identified 600 ways to begin cutting hospital costs. 

Ode to cutting hospital costs

By implementing E-MUSIC cost reduction Solutions, including laundry expenses, supply-based contractual obligations, and surgical supplies, a 222-bed hospital saved more than $550,000 in less than two years. By using a third-party company to negotiate maintenance and repair contracts, a 200-bed hospital saved $116,000 in a year... and that’s only the beginning. One hundred percent of E-MUSIC hospitals that completed two-year engagements achieved greater than 7:1 ROI. 

Results come quickly

To begin the E-MUSIC process, your key management team will be asked to complete a 20-minute questionnaire online. The questions relate to resource utilization, operations, and processes. We will select and sequence the most relevant Solutions for your facility — those producing the biggest savings ASAP. We also will provide on-site implementation advice.

We deliver a new set of cost reduction Solutions and implementation advice every 21 days. Our experienced consultants will visit every 60 days to ensure effectiveness. And there is a help desk available 24/7 to answer questions and offer suggestions and support.

The goal — to quickly begin cutting hospital costs.
