Strategic Approach
SMART network design
Each healthcare operation is unique. The logistics network that supports you needs to be agile enough to meet your growing needs.
At MedSpeed, we don’t prescribe a solution without diagnosing the problem. Assuming the routes that are in place already are a perfect fit for the system, with no room for improvement, is a fast way to drive overlap and inefficiency. Instead, we work with our customers to co-develop tailored, optimized networks that eliminate waste and generate the greatest value for patient care. Our proven process is called the Transportation Evaluation and Design (TED).

Design Beyond TED
We understand that healthcare is dynamic and needs can change rapidly which is why our design process doesn’t stop on day one. We have invested in an analytics team, data team, tech and ongoing governance program to ensure the system is continuously balanced to meet your changing needs over time.
Ongoing Governance
Each MedSpeed customer meets with their own dedicated team to review their logistics network performance with full transparency. Top priorities in these meetings are to analyze service utilization, review cost savings opportunities, and plan for the future.

Connected
Your courier operation supports your organization in a unified manner and seems like it is running efficiently. While there is always room for optimization, your courier sounds like it is on the right track and you may not need a redesign at this time.
Developing
While the courier may be doing a decent job of getting items from point A to point B, it is difficult to use the operation to achieve strategic value. Developing courier operations typically have some quality gaps and inefficiencies, are difficult to scale and may be error-prone. You may benefit from a network design evaluation at this time.
Decentralized
Your courier operation is Decentralized. This typical approach to medical courier services indicates that couriers may be managed by different departments within your health organization or that you are missing the data and interconnectedness to use the network strategically. There also may be operational and quality gaps and non-courier personnel may be spending time on courier activities. You would find value in a network design evaluation and MedSpeed is here to help.
Not Enough
Information
You did not provide enough information to assess your courier network design. This might indicate that you are not close enough to be able to accurately assess the operation, or that an evaluation of your courier needs would be beneficial.
