Slide 1
Strategic Alliances in Healthcare organizations
What, How, Why?
Slide 2
What is a business alliance?
Let’s start with an example:
I make and sell dried pasta
You make and sell tomato sauces
We ally to sell in a single pack, my pasta, and your tomato sauce. Our customers can enjoy both our products and prepare an easy and fast meal.
Note:
In the business dictionary, business alliances can be defined as an arrangement or relationship between separate organizations with similar goals. The purposes can go from cost reduction to improving internal processes or customer care. The partnership is conducted by a team with members from each entity. The risk, opportunities and the profit are shared. The most common five business alliances are:
1. Sales alliance – Selling together products and services that can complete each other.
2. Solution specific- Providing together business solutions. For example Facility management services with one company providing cleaning services and one providing security services.
3. Geographic specific- Sell together in a specific area. For example Unite to share the same sales team in new markets.
4. Investment – Share funds for better results
5. Joint-Venture: Share profit, loss and risk on a specific business line. For example former Sony-Ericsson on the mobile phone market.
Slide 3
How can this apply on health care organizations?
In health care, “alliance” can refer to voluntary organizations.
Hospitals join these organizations for know-how and cost share.
Examples: Voluntary Hospitals of America.
They all keep their autonomy and freedom of decision.
It can be resumed in “Together we are stronger”
Notes: 30 hospitals founded Voluntary Hospitals of America in 1977. The hospitals put together their expertise and supply chain for dealing more effectively with acute care services.
