Healthcare Strategy & Operations

Planned a centralized Saudi reference laboratory using G20 benchmarking and actuarial modeling to optimize testing efficiency and future-proof infrastructure.

PROJECT BACKGROUND

We supported our client – a government entity in the healthcare ecosystem in KSA - in strategic, digital, and transformation projects across supply chain, logistics, medical equipment, and key healthcare departments. 

OBJECTIVES

  • Establish a centralized Kingdom Reference Lab (KRL) to localize specialized testing and optimize transportation strategies.
  • Develop a financial model to justify national healthcare investments and long-term cost savings.
  • Conduct actuarial studies to assess the impact of population growth on reagent demand planning.

SOLUTION PROVIDED

Benchmarking & Best Practice Analysis

  • Conducted a comparative analysis of G20 and leading healthcare institutions across 5 strategically selected countries.
  • Evaluated transportation and logistics efficiency, centralized lab models, and demand planning frameworks to establish global best practices. 

Financial Modeling for Lab Implementation

Developed a data-driven financial model for a centralized Kingdom Reference Lab (KRL), incorporating a deductive approach to project cost efficiencies in localized testing and quantifying long-term savings over a 10-year horizon. 

Actuarial-Based Demand Planning Model

  • Analyzed past reagent consumption trends to identify usage patterns.
  • Applied actuarial techniques to model future demand, incorporating population growth trends, disease prevalence rates, and evolving healthcare needs.
  • Conducted benchmarking of global healthcare institutions with advanced demand planning frameworks to refine the forecasting methodology.

KEY OUTCOMES

  • Positioned the client for international recognition by adopting benchmark-driven strategies.
  • Reducing government funding dependence, ensuring long-term financial sustainability.
  • Established a data-backed framework for metrology growth, enabling optimized decision-making.
