We constructed this agenda assuming our audience knows very little about the Medical Supply chain, which is not always the case. Therefore, if we have listed an area that includes information you already know, please tell me and we’ll move to other areas that are more informative. Conversely, if you would like more detail on any aspect of the briefing, let me know also and I’ll cover it in more depth. If you have a question during the briefing, please ask it and I’ll do my best to answer it or obtain the answer before you leave.

• Health care economics• The business of health care• The cost of medical materiel• Reliable “next day” support• Business intelligence
Institutional Operational
Presenter
Presentation Notes
The mission of the DoD Medical Supply Chain has a dual focus, as depicted here. The theme – “Every day, every crisis” – reflects our mission requirements, and you will see this theme repeated throughout the briefing. During peacetime, we need to be fast, reliable, responsive, affordable and easy to use. Simultaneously, we must be ready to respond “around the clock, around the world” on a moment’s to the full continuum of contingency missions from natural disasters to war on multiple fronts. Fortunately, our dual focus is complementary in some very important aspects. Our peacetime commercial business supports, exercises, and funds our readiness support infrastructure . It maintains and trains our core cadre, while providing us the commercial footprint required to attract and partner with commercial vendors that support our contingency plans. Without our peace time sales, we would be hard pressed to attract and retain our commercial partners that must maintain steady, reliable sales, in both peacetime and during contingencies, to remain in business.

Mission: To provide the most effective, best value medical logistics support to America’s Armed Forces… Every Day and in Every Crisis
• We exist to meet DoD medical wartime requirements…
• We integrate our logistical information systems to handle them
• We prepare for them by leveraging our peacetime business programs
• We optimize costs so our customers can afford more capabilities
• We partner with federal/commercial counterparts when it furthers DoD goals
• We practice our response capability continuously and realistically
• We prove our capabilities to respond every day and in every crisis
Strategic Mission
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Our strategic mission is to maintain a Readiness posture that empowers us to immediately and effectively transition from peacetime to wartime support. All our peacetime activities are designed to do just that. All our Prime Vendor contracts, for example, have contingency provisions that enable us to leverage the enormous supply and distribution capabilities of our peacetime trading partners to meet our wartime needs. Similarly, we combine both commercial and DoD transportation and distribution assets to increase and maintain the velocity of medical logistics support to meet any known contingency. As we execute our “every day” peacetime mission, we never lose sight of the fact that wartime support is why we exist.

Medical sales reached $6.3B in FY 2015 and are projected to exceed that figure in FY 2016 and beyond. Our sales are increasing so rapidly they are exceeding our official FY 16 forecast, which will be updated at midyear. Defense Health Agency Home Delivery (mail-order) Pharmacy Operation is DLA’s largest medical customer, followed by the Army, Air Force and Navy. About $5.73B (over 91%) of DLA Medical business is handled exclusively through Ecommerce. The remainder ranges from a blend of Ecommerce and MILSTRIP to strictly MILSTRIP orders. Even with most MILSTRIP orders, medical relies on Direct Vendor Delivery to satisfy customer requirements. The only items provided from depot stocks are military unique items such as camouflage bandages, Nerve Agent Antidote Auto-injectors, etc.

Presentation Notes
Identifying sources – by building partnerships with our industrial base, we can assess the global market, and gain access to sources of medical products. Clarifying needs and alternatives – by interacting with our customers, we can assess their requirements to better enable us to meet their needs from our industry partnerships Determining availability of TAA compliant sources and recommending Non-availability Determination when compliant sources are not available. Our market research matches available products to meet our customer’s requirements. In cases where products are not available in sufficient quantities to meet our customer’s needs, the market research data gathered by the CPOC can be used to enable contracting officer decisions to seek sources of TAA non-compliant products after establishment of a Non-Availability determination (NAD) or TAA waiver. Finding hard to find drugs. Specialty pharmacy and limited distribution products. Through coordination with industry partners, determining how products are positioned in the marketplace and what the product’s regulatory requirements are. Then leverage DLA & partner programs and capabilities (Medical Air Bridge, E-Commerce Solutions) to gain access to products, maximize buying power, meet regulatory requirements, and supply our customers at the lowest cost possible.

• DLA review of ~1,130 NDCs ID’ed as Specialty Rx Products– Analysis of Product Coverage, Fill Rates, and Spending Data
• Findings– Coverage: 90%; 700 of 1,130 with usage in FY15– Fill Rate: 94% for DHA Home Delivery & PPV-G– Spend:
• $811 million in FY15• PPV-G: 98% or $795 million
– 80 non-covered NDCs with spend of $13.5 million• Charge Card: 0.04% or $316K
Presenter
Presentation Notes
We Defined specialty pharmacy items as: High, Cost, High Complexity, and High Touch items, and we able to identify ~1,130 items that fit the definition. We reviewed these products, and Analyzed Product Coverage, Fill Rates, and Spending Data. Our findings were: Product Coverage: Only 700 of 1,130 NDCs have spending data in FY ’15, and 90% of these NDCs covered by PPV-Global Program. Fill Rate: 94% Fill Rate for all transactions across TMOP and PPV-Global. 160,419 transactions identified for Specialty RX. 145,588 transactions accepted. 13,831 transactions rejected, and 9,143 were factored into Fill Rate Analysis. The OCONUS Fill Rate was 93%. Spending Data: NDCs reviewed had approximately $811 million in spending for FY ’15. the PPV-G’s product catalog covered 98% of the spending or $795 million. For NDCs not covered, only 80 NDCs had spending data totaling $13.5 million. $316K was identified as going through Charge Card purchases or 0.04%.

– Review NDCs with no coverage and no spending• Manufacturer relationships with PVs; Access
• Specialty marketplace is dynamic
• Way Ahead– Forge strong relationships with PVs & Specialty Divisions – Engage Manufacturers with limited distribution channels not
inclusive of Prime Vendor program
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Areas of Opportunity Review NDCs with deficient fill-rates and perform root-cause analysis (MFG backordered, new NDC, etc.). E.g., Byetta Pen had Fill Rate Issues in FY ‘15; Identified replacement NDC and fill rate was 90%+ in FY ’15 for replacement NDC. Review NDCs with no coverage and no spending. Are these manufacturers that our PVs have relationships with and could access if needed? DLA Medical and Industry Partners recognize that the Specialty marketplace is dynamic and not static. Program is performing well today but could have issues down the road if Specialty marketplace is not closely monitored. Way Ahead Forge strong relationships with Prime Vendors and their Specialty Divisions to ensure all parties are lock-step on any industry changes. Engage with Manufacturers with limited distribution channels not inclusive of Prime Vendor program to discuss path forward.

Medical Supply Optimization Strategies
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Opportunity Since 1991 DLA Troop Support Medical has purchased access to stock and minimized its static depot assets. To expedite and prime its transition from peacetime to wartime, Medical uses DLA “Warstopper” funds to purchase this time-phased guaranteed access or production capability. Medical invests ~$27M/year and obtains access to ~$780M in stock or a 28:1 return on investment. These Warstopper-funded stocks are used for initial sustainment of the Warfighter during a contingency until the US industrial base can gear up to meet demand. The reason for DLA Troop Support Medical’s transition to purchasing access was its experience during Operation Desert Storm. Although we maintained ~$680M of depots stocks at the beginning of the Operations, we had to purchase 92% of the stocks we needed to meet wartime demands. Relying on guaranteed access provided by contingency contracts, DLA Troop Support Medical has reduced the need for new acquisition to ~24%. Basically, the new approach allows Medical to adjust its contingency stocks more rapidly to accommodate new medical procedures, products and processes, thereby, avoiding large stagnant aging stockpiles and the costs inherent in them.
