  25. Preparing for health care reformrecommendations for action • Read the actual law in a PDF format and search for terms that are relevant to materials management like value-based purchasing. • Draw out a timeline of when specific provisions impact your work. • Develop a concrete action to address each provision outlined the health care bill. • Identify your stakeholders by formulating a stakeholder map and ask the question: How will the healthcare law impact our key stakeholders? • Formulate at least three scenarios for your materials management function including the following: • The Ideal Case • The Most Probably Case • The Nightmare Case

  26. Recommendations for Action • View your action plan as a change management initiative using Kotter’s Model of Change. • Be sure that materials management is positioned not only as a cost-center but also as a center of value. • Innovate your organizational structure, work processes, administrative processes, supply chain processes, and business model. • Persuade the CEO to have a board committee on strategic supply chain. • Enlist clinicians to advocate for the value of materials management but be prepared to give up some control for enlisting clinicians.

  27. Kotter’s Change Model • 1) Establishing a sense of urgency • 2) Creating the guiding coalition • 3) Developing a vision and strategy • 4) Communicating the change vision • 5) Empowering broad-based action • 6) Generating short-term wins • 7) Consolidating gains and producing more change • 8) Anchoring new approaches in the culture
