Working Together
“I have learned you cannot do it all by yourself.
Other people have talents, time, drive, and a desire to contribute and
achieve. What you get in the end is better if you get it through
cooperation.”
... John W. Patterson, M.D., Ph.D., D.Sc.

Resource Management &
Value Analysis Services
The Resource Management & Value Analysis program provides a systematic
assessment and approval process for the evaluation and acquisition of
products, equipment, resources and clinical technology that is
reviewed at all levels within the Hospital, UMG, Research and
Schools. Our Central Resource Management tools, like Informatica;
Q-Sight Analytics; Crystal Reporting; MACOLA Progression; UCHC PAR
Analytics and other Materials Resource systems, allow our departments
and committees to make informed supply chain decisions. Our
Central Resource Management Desk staff have a proven track record for
delivering quality service and have won the UConn PAWS Award of
Excellence.
The objective of the Resource Management & Value Analysis program is to
continually seek opportunities to reduce costs and improve performance
through the cost-effective selection & standardization of products,
equipment, clinical technology and related processes, while
maintaining or improving the quality of care provided to our patients.

COST SAVING TIPS
-
Coffee Makers and Microwaves
Please be reminded that Microwaves (Toaster Ovens) and Coffee
Makers (and coffee related supplies) for areas other than Patient
Waiting Rooms/Lounges, Conference type facilities or other like areas,
have been deemed personal
in nature and therefore will not be approved
for purchase thorough our systems.
The Switch to Xerox
Cartridges will Save UCHC Thousands
of Dollars Annually
Materials Management has
switched from
HP Toner Cartridges to the new Xerox brand cartridges.
This initiative will save the Health Center departments several
thousands of
dollars annually. The print yield alone, represents
an approximate $12,000.00 annual savings.
Please see
PDF file for detailed information on the new product line from Xerox.
Did you know
that the price of the BIC round Stic pen is only 10 cents!
Most other pens cost between 80 cents and $3.50... Taking into
account the number of pens used by the institution; consider the savings on just this
one item. This pen is readily available
through the e-Portal ordering system.
Please help save our
precious financial resources and use the Bic Stic pen for your writing needs.
If you
absolutely need a "retractable" pen, we have made available
the Paper-Mate Comfort Pen. This pen is offered at 50% less
than other Flex type grip or retractable pens. It is still 40 cents more
than the Bic Stic pen. This pen should only be purchased
if absolutely necessary, e.g., patient care units. The Bic Stic
is the preferred office use pen. Please help save our precious
financial resources and use the Bic Stic pen for your writing needs.
Before going home for the day, check for pens! It is an easy
item to forget in your pocket. We all do it...

Orders System. The chair is available

There

that the assorted colors and hot color Post-It type note pads are twice
if not four times more expensive than the standard plan White or Yellow.
Also, standardizing on printers in your department will
help cut down on costly print cartridges as well. The IT department
has already standardized on several printers. Check out their
Web site at
http://itweb.uchc.edu/.
For larger departments, consider using a Network printer for your
printing needs. This way you only need one or two printers for
your whole department. Significant savings when using this
approach.
(PRS), a division of Materials
Management is a vital part of the University of Connecticut Health Center. They not only
provide Health Center Departments with the opportunity to acquire and dispose of excess
property, they also offer other state agencies, municipalities, non-profit institutions
and the general public the opportunity to acquire surplus materials at a reasonable cost
as well.
During difficult budget times, departments may not always have the
available funds to purchase equipment and furnishings. Health Center departments have
saved thousands of dollars each year by contacting Property Re-Utilization Services for
good used Laboratory, Medical, Office Equipment and Furnishings.
If you are looking for a specific item(s),
just browse the Surplus Property listings using the Look Up option, located
at
http://opa.uchc.edu/prs.htm. The lists the current excess/surplus property available to your departments. If you can not find
the item(s) you are looking for contact the Surplus Property Office at 860-679-1956, and
they will do their best to locate the item(s) for you through their many contacts in the
State and Federal Government Surplus Centers. PRS also offers complete refinishing,
reupholster and small office machine repair service. The Surplus Store is also
on-line at
this same site for your viewing.
