The Healthcare ecosystem faces unprecedented challenges in the face of greater demands and financial pressures. With a global network of expertise, OnPoint has provided professional services for over 20 years to Public and Private Healthcare organisations; advising and supporting them as they transform and adapt to the needs of the population. More than ever, managers and clinicians must work together to develop a deeper understanding of what is really driving the cost of service delivery and patient outcomes.
Our approach is developed to deliver this critical management information. It is based on a time driven and activity-based costing model and enables you to identify costing that is rooted in the organization.
The activity-based data can provide the insight to understand “why” the costs vary for patients with the same diagnosis or procedure. Once you have this information, you can proactively identify opportunities for cost reductions by reducing the NVA (non-value added) activities and identifying variability in care delivered, allowing the organisation to provide the same level of service in a more efficient manner.
How do you improve mission success without adding more people? How do you manage costs “smarter” in the future? What will be your agency’s response on budget reductions?
These questions highlight high-impact opportunities that cover the full scope of the government value chain, from the supply chain, to internal people and activities, to program delivery, to citizens. We start by looking at the newest generation of cost management tools. Amongst the services that we can offer you are:
Measuring the cost of government services is useful for a variety of purposes, including performance measurement and benchmarking; setting user fees and charges; privatization; competition initiatives or managed competition; and activity-based costing and activity-based management.
We have in-depth experience in measuring the cost of government services through developing a policy on cost recovery through fees and charges and assessing how a service could be alternatively provided more efficiently. Several factors must be considered to ensure that cost data are used appropriately - ensured via our best-practice, industry leading and methodologies.
We help Government Agencies takes a broad, integrated view of the organization and the larger ecosystem. While traditional cost management tools typically focus on individual cost categories or processes, structural cost management seeks to optimize an agency’s portfolio of activities using strategic choices and demand management. Its goals are to enhance operating models and build new service delivery models.
This means looking at what—and where—agencies are spending their money (appropriated, industrially, or working capital funded) and the degree to which those expenditures align with agency priorities. Going beyond simply targeting cuts to transforming agency economics also calls for leaders to analyze and understand what drives agency costs before they can explore potential structural cost management opportunities.
Our traditional cost management approaches typically disaggregates the enterprise into discrete pieces such as a cost category or a particular process or purchased commodity. Proven methods and tools are then applied to drive out costs by improving productivity, leveraging scale, eliminating waste, and so on. Continuous incremental improvement then allows for future gains.
In addition to our team of analysts, we can draw on a range of individuals who are have expertise in relevant aspects of government costing and key performance indicators.
A new era of digital tools is ushering in the next generation of cost management. In the past, when tasks were automated, the reduction in variable costs often came with high investment costs. Expertise was greatly valued but was difficult to scale as it resided with specific individuals and their experiences.
Today, we utilize newly developed digital tools to change the fundamentals of mission economics and work, enabling government agencies to do more with less. These flexible tools can be used to both enhance existing operations and enable entirely new approaches.
Among the most promising government opportunities in cost management are newly emerging applications in: 1) analytics and cognitive solutions, including both analytics (potentially supported by artificial intelligence, or AI) to increase effectiveness, and robotics to automate and augment labor; and 2) digitizing government, which includes cloud computing and, potentially, blockchain.
Our expert network can advise Government leaders and help take advantage of these developments and transform the economics of mission delivery.
How can markets be made to function in the best interests of consumers and citizens? Are there any limits to the expansion of markets in the provision of public services? Is too much regulation stifling growth?
The onset of difficult economic conditions has posed important questions about the way in which markets work. But market reform issues determine how a country functions and shapes the society we live in. From the price we pay for our heating, to the financial products we can buy, to how we run our schools and hospitals. We all have a stake in the answers.
We have significant experience in providing advice across regulated sectors to both regulators and regulated entities. From working closely with regulators, we can advise on the strategic and operational issues that they consider particularly important. Amongst the services that we can offer you are listed below.
We have extensive experience in advising policy makers on sector policy, as well as the development of implementation strategies, including setting targets and proposing monitoring mechanisms. Implementation of a proposed policy may involve the formulation of suitable regulations to govern the relevant areas of a sector, such as access regulation, regulated pricing, tariff modelling and design.
Regulators and competition authorities perform assessments of profitability when considering whether competition is effective. In this context we have extensive experience in analysing data and applying relevant adjustments to calculate the actual and competitive benchmark levels of economic profitability. We use an established approach of making adjustments to accounting figures in order to obtain reliable economic profit estimates.
We have extensive market reform experience, including cost benefit assessments of regulatory proposals. We have our own methodology for assessing economic, social environmental and fiscal impacts which aligns with the regulatory impact assessment standards of the regulators.
