Research Transformation for Children’s Hospitals
1. Organization Structure: How does your research
support structure help empower business
leadership, academic leadership, and faculty to
achieve its goals?
2. People: Do you have the right quality and quantity
of people with the competencies to effectively
provide service and stewardship for your institution?
3. Business Process: Are you deploying effective and
efficient business processes to serve customers?
4. Performance Measurement: What measures do
you use to evaluate the effectiveness of
performance – financial, customer service and
compliance?
5. Technology: Have you effectively leveraged
technology to make business processes more
efficient, effective and compliant to provide adequate
information to internal and external stakeholders?
A comprehensive approach to assessing the research support structure to improve
operating performance incorporates five key elements of an organization.

Clinical Transformation
Leveraging Change Across the Continuum
Interdisciplinary
Care
Coordination
Ensures patients access the right
care setting and provider at the
right time to improve outcomes
and maximize the use of
valuable resources.
Clinical practice redesign
that improves the reliability,
quality, and safety of patient
care by integrating and
coordinating medical, nursing,
and ancillary practice while decreasing
process and supply variation.
Proactive management of patients
across the continuum driving quality
and cost effective care. Strong
case management reduces
avoidable admissions and
minimizes delays in
clinical settings.
Increases communication
with the care team, ensures
continuity of care, provides
seamless transitions for patients.

Revenue Transition
Happening at different speeds in different markets
Regardless, CEOs are committed to preparing for the shift
Organizations must build capabilities needed to operate and thrive under
the value model – while remaining cost effective under the current model
Organizations must develop a granular understanding of current and
future top-line revenue sources
The type of revenue changes and the rate of change will help each health
system set priorities for healthcare transformation
17. © 2014 Huron Consulting Group. All rights reserved. Proprietary and confidential.

Current and Forecasted Revenue Sources
Are current process
and system
opportunities
optimized?
What portion of your top-line revenue is from traditional fee-for-
service, and what portion is from emerging value-based models
(bundled payment, shared savings, shared risk, capitation, etc.)?
What increases or decreases
in utilization are occurring
across the health system?
What shifts in utilization
are occurring across the
health system?
What portion of
revenue is from
non-patient care
sources?
What changes are you
forecasting for top-line
revenue mix, utilization, and
non-patient care revenue?

Revenue Transition – Key Takeaways
Over-reliance on revenue from inpatient care carries one set of risks,
while reliance on new, alternative revenue streams carries another
Moving from volume models is essential, but moving too quickly
weakens revenues and puts significant pressure on the organization
Improving quality, improving the patient experience, and improving
the cost structure remains the winning combination
Invest now in current processes for leaner times ahead

Operational Excellence – Best Practices
Labor
Implement prospective labor
tools to assist managers to
adjust staffing in variable
departments every 4 hours;
include organization and
enterprise-wide views
Implement retrospective
labor tools to assist
managers to monitor results
and identify data trends
Implement predictive
volume forecasting tool(s),
especially important given the
seasonality of some clinical
events (e.g., asthma)
Capture data on key cycle times
(e.g., order communication to
fulfillment) and quality measures (e.g.,
no show rates in OP areas);
incorporate the data into business
driver dashboard by function to
focus on identifying and resolving
root causes of outlier performance

Operational Excellence – Best Practices
Non-labor
Develop a strategy to drive standardization. This is the next big area of
opportunity for children’s hospitals
Implement data tools to improve your ability to analyze and manipulate
non-labor pricing and utilization data
Develop a strategy to benchmark and renegotiate physician preference
items and purchased service contracts not covered by Novation (approx.
50% of your spend)
Work with Novation to optimize GPO commodity pricing and standardization
rebates (approx. 50% of your spend)
Work with Novation to convert old Premier contracts that were not exact
matches to the Novation portfolio in order to collect admin fees from Novation

Operational Excellence – Best Practices
Human Resources
Combine time-off with pay programs to align use of time away from
work for its intended purpose and to manage the organization’s liability
Implement comprehensive leave
of absence policy
Implement vendor management for
contingent labor that standardizes
rates by job, limits the number of
vendors, and provides automated tools
Adopt premium pay policies that
provide inflationary control, create
equity across job families, and are
competitive within the local market
Structure health plans and employee
costs to provide recognizable value
choices among options and support
personal accountability for health

Research Enterprise Management
CHALLENGES Research is small part of the business and often lacks the appropriate
support mechanisms.
Culture of autonomy among units engaged in research inhibits enterprise change.
Silos of custom systems to support research impede effective data sharing.
Obtaining actionable data is slow and difficult. Benchmarking information is
more limited than in clinical.

Assessed backlogs (financial reporting, cash management, and other key
risk areas)
Implemented new research administration and financial systems
Single point of accountability
- All report to Executive under VP/Research
“Dotted line” to Finance maintains internal controls
and financial integrity
A new Financial Coordinator position serves as
liaison/support to PIs

Mention Sentara’s “third core”
Other clients are also pursuing non-patient care revenue strategies
Draft language from a related white paper currently in progress:
A clear and detailed understanding of how top-line revenue will change, in a given market, will give leadership the insight needed to drive changes throughougt their organizations, moving funds from one priority to another -- for example, will the new market realities reward more medical/surgical beds, or should the organization open more community clinics instead? A clear understanding of the revenue transition may also drive decisions about scale and about human capital. Finally, in many markets, it may give organizations the ability to be proactive in shaping and hastening the transition to new payment models.
Context from the CEO Forum report:
CEOs reported investigating health-related business lines such as nutrition and exercise centers, retail clinic partnerships, telemedicine, and mail order pharmaceuticals. At the same time, leaders recognize that non-core revenue can bring its own risk. Part of the issue is how rapidly the marketplace is changing.
“While it’s always good to stay alert to new business opportunities, the lesson from other industries is that non-core ventures carry their own set of risks,” said Jeff Jones, managing director, Huron Healthcare. “Recent history in industries such as banking and utilities illustrates that diversification as a primary growth strategy is not always positive. Ultimately, organizations that increase quality and lower costs in their core offerings will be in the strongest position—no matter how the market shifts.”
