RSDHC is looking at expansion in Malaysia and Asia through potential acquisitions in the near future, a move that will be carried out after strengthening its current operations.

ACHIEVEMENTS
As Operations Executive Manager, Sydney Metropolitan Hospitals
Financial Performance
In FY2017, the Sydney Metropolitan hospitals as a group increased their total Net Patient Revenue by $29.5 million and EBIT by $13.2 million year on year 2016 to 2017, which equates to a percent increase of 4.1 and 9.9, respectively. In FY2016, the Sydney Metropolitan hospitals as a group increased their total Net Patient Revenue by $11.7 million and EBIT by $5.4 million year on year 2015 to 2016, which equates to a percent increase of 1.6 and 4.3, respectively.
Benchmarking
Development of detailed business rules and monthly KPI reports for operating theatres, CSSD, ICU, and maternity, resulting in imporved effciency and financial performance by focusing on outliers and sharing ideas across hospitals. Some specific examples of this are as follows:
North Shore Private Hospital Operating Theatres – Productive hours per combined operating minute have reduced from 0.1209 in April 2017 to 0.1186 in July 2017 by matching staff starting times with start of operating theatre list. Savings of $18,200.00 per month are being realised.
St. George Private Hospital Maternity – Direct labour cost per productive hour has reduced from $51.38 in March 2017 to $50.40 in July 2017 by reducing agency rate from 8% to 1% by sharing casual staff across the Ramsay Sydney Metropolitan maternity units. Savings of $7,200.00 per month are being realised.
Westmead Private Hospital ICU – The issue identified through benchmarking related to the inappropriate admission of patients to ICU who could not be billed to the health funds as they did not have appropriate interventions. The admission criterion was altered and patients are now receiving appropriate interventions, or they are accommodated on the ward with higher nursing ratios, but not at ICU levels. This has resulted in a decrease of other billable patients and an increase in category C patients. In comparing March to July 2017, other billable days have reduced from 102 to 58. Savings of $21,700.00 per month are being realised.
Projects
A number of projects have been introduced in Ramsay Australia, both from a revenue increase and cost-saving perspective, and I have been the executive sponsor for those listed. The increased revenue or savings from these projects are listed below:
Clinical Documentation Specialist – Implemented in May 2017, this project is on track to increase revenue in the Ramsay Australian hospitals by over $8 million in the 2017/2018 financial year.
Prosthesis Opened But Not Implanted – Through the negotiation with the suppliers where they will not charge for items opened in error, which will see this initiative realise savings of over $1.5 million in the 2017/2018 financial year.
Procurement Initiatives – Improved supplier pricing/agreements will see savings in excess of $6.3 million achieved through projects such as newspapers, managed print services, stationary, IV pumps and consumables, endoscopy chemicals, surgical and examination gloves, food costs.
CAFAT Contract – Assisted in the negotiations with the new Caledonian Department of Health to create an exclusivity agreement to treat their patients in either a Ramsay NSW Sydney Metropolitan hospital or a public hospital if the service is not able to be provided by a Ramsay hospital. In March 2017, the contract was finalised and this agreement commenced on April 1, 2017. In the first full year of this agreement, an additional $2.4 million revenue was achieved and this year, the increase will be over $3 million.
Erin Lloyd
Erin Lloyd currently works as the Group Head for Nursing, Quality and Risk for Ramsay Sime Darby Healthcare. She is a Registered Nurse, Midwife, has a Bachelor of Nursing and holds a Masters of Health Management. She has worked for Ramsay Health Care since 1996 in various roles which include: Nurse Unit Manager, Hospital Quality Manager and Medical Services Manager. In 2007 she commenced working for Ramsay Health Care in Indonesia and in July 2013 with the joint venture between Ramsay and Ramsay Sime Darby, this changed to Ramsay Sime Darby Healthcare.
Being part of the Ramsay/Ramsay Sime Darby Healthcare, has provided many opportunities and exciting experiences. Erin’s keen interest in patient safety/accreditation materialized in 2011 when Bintaro Hospital in Jakarta Indonesia, became the fourth hospital in Indonesia, to obtain the US Joint Commission International Accreditation. The subsequent accreditation & re accreditation, of all the three Indonesian Hospitals has been extremely rewarding. Secondly, the development of strong quality teams has also been another milestone in her work both in Indonesia and Malaysia and lastly the upskilling of nursing staff from diploma to degree nurses and the professionalization of nursing have been very satisfying.
Erin moved to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in July 2015 to commence working across both Indonesia and Malaysia. This has provided more challenges, especially dealing with multiple cultures and increased responsibility. In any effort to respond to the increasing rate of nurse turnover and to further improve Asian Nursing Practice, Erin along with her colleagues made a conscious decision in 2016 to commence the journey towards “American Nursing Magnet Accreditation.”
In her spare time, Erin loves to travel and has been very fortunate to visit many Asian countries. She also likes to entertain and enjoys having colleagues and friends come to her apartment in Ara Damansara.
Family is of major importance to Erin and although they all live far away in Australia, modern communication channels and frequent visits by her family to Indonesia and Malaysia, keep her in close contact.
