IDN Supply Chain Metrics Benchmarking

Most integrated delivery networks (IDNs) do not measure end-to-end (E2E) supply chain performance. Obtaining and analyzing supply chain data across all spend on products and services from third parties is challenging, as is collecting data on the people, technology and infrastructure costs to serve.

Gartner Hierarchy of IDN Supply Chain Metrics benchmarkingmeasures the E2E supply chain performance at healthcare providers. Analysis of the IDN supply chain benchmarking data revealstwo key opportunities:

  1. Optimize supply chain costsas a percentage of IDN operating costs.
  2. Use sourcing metricssuch as span of control and contracting ratio to increase focus and investment on supply chain.

    The Gartner Hierarchy of IDN Supply Chain Metrics

    The Gartner Hierarchy of IDN Supply Chain Metrics is an seven-metric benchmark database that enables IDN supply chain leaders to compare key supply chain performance metrics with their peers.

    Unlike other supply chain benchmarking methodologies that compare metrics in isolation, the Gartner benchmarking methodology looks at the interdependencies between metrics to identify improvement opportunities and make better business trade-offs between quality, cost and service.
