Supplier Rationalisation

• Therapy Manager provides you with the tools to rationalise your suppliers and improve purchasing power
• Many organisations struggle to get an accurate understanding of expenditure with suppliers in a timely and usable form
• Therapy Manager provides up-to-date access to this information and all other reporting in less than THIRTY seconds

• There are a whole host of standard reports in Therapy Manager that
  will help you negotiate better terms with suppliers

Expected Saving: We would expect you to achieve a cost improvement of c2.5%
as a result of maximising your purchasing power

Efficient Billing of Suppliers

• Paper-based systems produce a paper trail that needs to managed and administered throughout the patient journey
• This is particularly time-consuming (and costly) when clinicians are required to reconcile orders and manually approve payments
• Therapy Manager provides Finance with a regular export of all orders by patient and supplier which can be imported directly into your Accounts Payable system for payment

Expected Saving: Your expected saving is dependent on the number of orders that you process. We would expect Therapy Manager to save you a minimum of 4.5 minutes per order

Accurate Cross-Charging to Directorates

• A number of organisations face difficulties when cross-charging to directorates or other specialities
• Therapy Manager provides a summary of referrals by source and, where required, you can drill-down into the detail by individual referral

Expected saving: We have come across a number of organisations where Orthotics departments have either been unable to quantify cross-charging costs or disputes have arisen as a result of an inability to justify charges.

Cost of Care Analysis

• When negotiating revised contracts with commissioners it is imperative that providers have accurate reference costs by condition
• Accurate costing will enable you and your team to bid competitively with a full and complete understanding of the underlying costs by condition
• Therapy Manager's Cost of Care report summarises the cost of clinical time (using NHS current pay scales) and equipment supplied to the patient

No Re-keying of Patient Demographics

• Many Orthotics teams complain that PAS (Patient Administration System) doesn't cater to their unique and specific needs
• As a result, patient data is often re-keyed into local home-grown systems resulting in duplication and errors
• Therapy Manager can automatically pull-down patient demographics without the need to re-key patient data

Expected Saving: Generally it takes approx 2-3 minutes to re-key a patient's demographics and referral details. In Therapy Manager it takes less than 30 seconds per referral

Optimal Stock Management

• Many organisations carry excessive levels of stock to provide a buffer in the event of inaccuracies
• With Therapy Manager it isn't necessary to maintain surplus stock
• It monitors stock levels (based on user defined thresholds) and ensures that optimum levels of stock are continually maintained using simple colour-coded indicators

Efficient Scheduling & Clinician Visibility

• Therapy Manager provides the tools to capture and monitor clinician activity
• It's highly configurable diary allows administrators and clinicians to schedule Out-patient, In-patient and Community activity quickly and easily
• The Therapy Manager diary provides the underlying activity data that enables Heads of Service to accurately cost treatment and measure clinician productivity
