As we develop our final 2021 Strategic Plan for Ochsner Health System, we are grateful for our unique and ever-strengthening partnership. Our goal through this process is to strategically align all ABM partner hospitals and future partnerships in a unified manner, to where we approach each location to consistent operational and financial metrics. This will provide benefit to both our organizations to maintain the optimal balance to ensure ongoing value as a strategic partner. Our approach will also allow for ease of adding additional locations and the flexibility for the specific location leadership team with the flexibility to customize programmatic elements and easily quantify those elements as they are reviewed with Ochsner corporate stakeholders.
Ochsner is ABM’s largest system partner and that partnership has helped leverage ABM into a particularly strong position in the market, where we are now expected to grow our YOY EVS and business by double digit growth. This positions ABM as the provider of choice for those looking to affect change with a partner other than the traditional service providers, who have often not met expectations time and time again. This is a key reason for ABM’s approach to our 2021 Strategic Plan and offer financial investment back to Ochsner and a consistent format moving forward. The strategic plan will highlight specific operational and financial savings we have achieved date and those subsequent to the implementation of this plan. We are committed to ongoing review of our position and identifying efficiencies and investment where possible, to ensure a strong and long-lasting partnership.
We understand it is critically important for ABM to demonstrate immediate and direct value to key partners, as opposed to back-end promises based on purchasing or performance. This is critically true when purchasing food on behalf of hospitals we serve. We recently aligned with a single source GPO (Provista/Vizient) for our food purchasing, where we are able to attain our discounted pricing, as opposed to waiting for rebates based on achieving specific volume levels which aggregate all food purchases of the organization.
You have ABM’s commitment to deliver the best service, quality and most importantly the financial efficiencies that help to maneuver your needs throughout the pandemic and beyond.FINANCIAL OPERATIONAL SUPPORT MOTHER NATURE PANDEMIC
We will realize immediate quantifiable savings of an estimated $500K+ for phase 1, $330K cost avoidance, and other reductions through this partnership. In the coming months, both phases 2 & 3 will have further savings and efficiencies while working towards a system-wide approach to partnership structure and service delivery for your organization. These are unprecedented times, and it is critical to align with a partner who has placed foremost your immediate interest as the highest importance. You have ABM’s commitment to delivering the best service, quality, and, most importantly, the financial efficiencies that help maneuver your needs throughout the pandemic and beyond
There were eight Gulf storms in 2020. At one point or another, six—Cristobal, Marco, Laura, Sally, Beta, and Delta—all had Ochsner territory in the crosshairs. ABM team members remain ready to diligently support the facilities through whatever Mother Nature delivers to keep the facilities’ departments structurally safe.
ABM’s unique proprietary patient rounding technology, a leading indicator application towards HCAHPS scores and a real-time recovery module enables our management team, the patient experience manager, and patient service team to improve the patient experience score. We increased these scores through ABM’s programmatic elements aligned with the engagement of hospital leadership and key stakeholders. It has enabled a minimum of 39 percentile points improvement, including OMC [4th to 39th percentile]. When services commenced, the scores were in the single-digit percentile. An average increase of over 100 percent!

As Ochsner developed and opened its newest boutique and specialty hospital at Elmwood, ABM, with its partnership with PJ’s Coffee, designed and implemented a new PJ’s coffee shop on the hospital’s ground floor. ABM also refreshed the existing café on the 2nd floor and made some necessary changes to the kitchen to provide customized room service to this new patient population. ABM provides the Food service, EVS, and Valet operations at this facility.

REMINDER: Disinfect these “High Touch” surfaces EVERY DAY in occupied patient rooms Research studies show that by cleaning high touch (i.e. “frequently touched”) surfaces at least daily in patient rooms you can reduce the number of disease causing germs (pathogens) that will end up on hands after contact with room surfaces and on the hands of staff caring for the patient.
▪ Developed Project Boards two weeks ahead and are striving to meet our goals.

With the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic underway, Ochsner and ABM felt its impact in full swing as we supported changing staffing requirements, units changed to accommodate COVID-19 patients, screening, and testing.
As the COVID-19 patient population grew, Ochsner LSU turned to ABM to support with added efforts. Ochsner LSU asked us to help them convert and prepare the nearby St. Mary (SMMC) campus to open 110 patient rooms and labor and delivery rooms by moving Mother/Baby units from the LSU campus to SMMC. These actions were accomplished in six weeks from a closed facility and opened, thoroughly inspected, admitting patients, set up EVS operations and food/kitchen functions to serve the added patient population. ABM worked with the planning committee to design, plan, and set up operations where there was none.
Each of the hospitals we serve had various staffing challenges due to COVID-19 — some staff out sick, in quarantine, fearful of the unknown — yet we adjusted in joint-effort collaboration with each hospital leadership team. Some ABM project managers and support teams from their corporate offices helped when managers were out for quarantine. Each hospital made changes to cleaning procedures and daily processes in EVS and food to meet the changing environment for everchanging CDC guidelines.

As we developed our 2021 Strategic Business Plan for Ochsner Health, we considered several factors to address the critical issue of reducing expenses and, at the same time, continue to drive high levels of service, quality, and safety. Ochsner is the flagship partner for ABM, and we understand the importance of continually developing that relationship through proven service delivery, exceptional outcomes, and innovative solutions to meet the challenges within the healthcare and community marketplace, including the unforeseen impact of COVID-19 earlier this year. You have communicated your goals and your expectations of your strategic partner.
We heard you and continue to listen and collaborate!
ABM developed a strategic and comprehensive structural plan to meet your goals and targeted the rollout date of November 2020. Our proposed 2021 strategy focuses on the following elements you have conveyed.
▪ Cost reductions to address the effect of COVID-19 and ongoing business pressures
▪ Operational consistency and targeted metrics across the Ochsner hospitality services portfolio
▪ Apply the targeted service model to new Ochsner growth opportunities
▪ Strategically align with Ochsner’s Hardwiring Excellence model.
As a key partner, we addressed each key factor and continue to look at additional areas we deliver innovative solutions addressing potential issues through leading indicators and unforeseen challenges such as COVID-19. Because ABM has the flexibility to make quick decisions without overburdened layers of approvals, we quickly pivot to adapt to the market’s needs and lead to the right solution. This has also allowed for the aggressive and multi-factored operational efficiencies outlined in this 2021 strategic plan. Our goal is to remain the hospitality services provider of choice and to strengthen our partnership every day, and broaden our partnership as Ochsner grows.
It is important to understand we have developed our strategic plan through a blend of partnership commitment and operational efficiencies. We are incredibly focused on our partnership and ensuring it remains healthy and strong. Our strategic plan includes a sizable give-back of our fees and sets a standard for those fees identified in growth opportunities. ABM understands the impact of COVID-19 has had on healthcare and the broader
community, and it is critically crucial for ABM to demonstrate our commitment to Ochsner Health and our partnership. Also, to continue delivering exceptional outcomes, we know transparency is critical to maintaining the trust necessary for the relationship’s health. Our financial modeling will be a direct demonstration of the level of transparency we have provided in the enclosed plan. We have jointly discussed the development of the metrics and resulting efficiencies, which is also an essential component of an active partner.
We are proud of the service and quality levels we have achieved towards developing a solid HCAHPS foundation, which is now the baseline we use and will continue to grow throughout our partnership.
Trusted partnerships are earned, and through our actions, we strive to continue to earn and keep your trust as your preferred hospitality services partner.
ABM’s size is a benefit since we are adaptive and agile. We do not have a cookie-cutter approach. This affords us scale to serve Ochsner best and positioned Ochsner Health as a significant flagship health system. ABM is quick and responsive to solve issues without corporate roadblocks.
Purposeful Focus on Excellence

SIX SIGMA PRINCIPLES
DEFINE MEASURE ANALYSE IMPROVE CONTROL
Our lean program approach focuses on minimizing waste in processes, products, and services, while Six Sigma focuses on reducing the variability and causes of waste.
Our program is based upon the Studer and Six Sigma principles. ABM has invested in the development of an Operational Excellence (OpX) platform that focuses on hardwiring excellence across the Healthcare enterprise. The goal of our National Patient Experience Officer and the OpX platform is to high level and consistent operational results for both ABM and its clients through improved quality and reduced cost.
To drive these results OPX and ABM rely on Lean methodology and Studer related principals. Our lean program approach focuses on minimizing waste in processes, products, and services, while Six Sigma focuses on reducing the variability and causes of waste. They are both highly disciplined continuous improvement processes that provide a comprehensive set of methods, metrics and tools that enable ABM to improve quality and reduce costs — all for the ultimate goal of continuous value creation for our clients.

Each team member is trained with the awareness of the individual impact contributed by interaction and engagement. This training educates how they have an impact on each patient’s experience and how to be aware of the patient’s emotional state, so to have a service-ready, caring attitude.
The Lean Six Sigma methodology is the basis behind all center led initiatives. Each initiative falls into one of the 5 key areas of focus:
▪ Strategic Planning
▪ Productivity
▪ Employee Satisfaction and Engagement
▪ Customer Loyalty
▪ Supply Chain Management
While an initiative will hit into at least one of these key areas of focus many of the initiatives hit into multiple areas of focus. From a food and nutrition services program perspective, we integrate lean in every aspect of our program: For example, our Menu and Nutrislice program is using data and technology to drive employee satisfaction while reducing overall cost. This is done by having customer driving menus that have fewer, but clearly defined offerings backed by value engineered recipes that deliver a consistent, better quality item, at lower cost. An additional initiative added on to Menu is our Waste program.
The focus of this program is to drive food waste reduction through process improvement and more clearly defined menus and recipes. The benefits of this program is to reduce over production as well as lessen the overall impact on the environment.
We strive to eliminate the traditional seven forms of “waste” in all processes of providing our services. Equally, we create and provide value as quantified by our clients, validated via value stream design and benchmarked by Truven analytics and other Industry leading organizations. We believe that attaining high levels of performance are achieved when Lean and Six Sigma principles are adhered to.
Specifically:
▪ Continuous efforts to achieve stable and predictable process results (i.e., reduce process variation) are of vital importance to business success.
▪ Business processes have characteristics that can be measured, analyzed, controlled, and improved.
▪ Achieving sustained quality improvement requires commitment from the entire organization, particularly from top-level management.
Our quality deployment strategy utilizes the following systematic manner:
1. Value Stream (Flow)
▪ Customer Value: Customer Requirements–as a first step, we seek to understand customer requirements through numerous strategies indicative of Lean processes including:
• Strategic Summits
• Leadership Advance
• Executive Stakeholder-Advisory Board
• Quarterly & Annual Partnership Reviews
• “Blue-Sheet” Strategic Planning Process
▪ Design of Performance Criteria– secondly, based on this progressive understanding, we outline a strategic framework for design of innovative management solutions
▪ Development– third, we collaborate with our client key stakeholders to refine and co-author an approach which aligns with their cultural, strategic and operational goals of our clients.
▪ Service Delivery Model– fourth and final step leads to our engagement process which includes performance metrics with continuous baseline improvement year over year.
▪ Assessing Organizational Culture– ABM is widely recognized as a leader in aligning culture with strategy. Our first goal is to understand client culture and organizational strategy. We do that through a variety of deployment strategies such as those listed in our standard value stream mapping process.
▪ ABM begins our operational approach to site reviews by developing value stream maps outlining current and future state modelling. We use a variety of qualitative and quantitative technologies to assist our on-site review teams in the assessment of the overall patient and consumer experience. Patient Room Service mapping exercises are developed ranging from optimizing Patient room services to assessing the culture of cleanliness.
▪ Understanding that “value” flows downstream to the customer, ABM’s Market Survey master-planning process segments the hospital environment by respondent role, generation, and gender. This Value based design process not only defines what “customers” value but “who” our customers are throughout healthcare facilities. This comprehensive study is a fundamental element of separating value from non-value-added all from a customer-centric perspective.
▪ Consumer Survey Process– Allows us to understand what our customer’s value and provides management with a service recovery process and employee recognition tool.
▪ Perfection Tools:
i. Qualitative tools include Nutrislice, Core Pillars, and Communication Boards
ii. Predictive tools include Patient Bliss rounding, DFM diet office, and Retail Market Survey
▪ Flow & Pull techniques– daily, we operate beginning with practices including safety training for patient and employees. From Storage rooms to rest rooms, food production centers to food distribution, transport and retrieval, ABM is fully committed to daily utilization of flow and pull techniques.
▪ Organization– We strive to eliminate waste beginning with techniques. This is done daily and as a standard routine.
▪ Management Tools– from Smart Sheets to scorecards to visual management display boards, ABM’s everyday improvement tools are demonstrated in the way we work and create value for our customers. We standardize the way work is done through our executional frameworks for all lines of service-Patient & Clinical, Retail Dining and Environmental and Facilities.
▪ Kaizen Projects/Workshops– ABM practices Kaizen across our enterprise and throughout all our healthcare client facilities. Kaizen workshops are held to develop value-stream mapping to build our future state scenarios driving patient and consumer satisfaction.
Transformational change begins with an accurate understanding of what is to be transformed. Our Change Excellence Methodology and Toolkit defines elements, principles, tools and outcomes to facilitate change. Employee enablement and engagement strategies are fundamental to our mutual goal achievement and in building a Learning organization.
We believe that attaining high levels of performance are achieved when Lean+ and Six Sigma principles are adhered to. Specifically:
Continuous efforts to achieve stable and predictable process results (i.e., reduce process variation) are of vital importance to business success.
Business processes have characteristics that can be measured, analyzed, controlled, and improved.
Achieving sustained quality improvement requires commitment from the entire organization, particularly from top-level management.

[ Review details of captured summary regarding the contract exhibits ]
Key to the sustainability and success of the program is how we drive communication to all stakeholder levels, including Hospital and ABM leadership, caregivers, support team, and hourly staff. This is accomplished through Lean communication boards and Studer related pillars — People, Service, Quality, Growth, Financial, and Community. Excellence is best sustained when all deployment processes and results are measured and communicated at all levels.
ABM’s Plan-o-Gram allows the integration for space management with pricing, promotions and consumer analyses to develop better retail merchandising plans. By using virtual replication of the retail layout allows you to evaluate multiple merchandising strategies based upon your financial goals. Also category planning capabilities assist management production of high quality planograms quickly and easily resulting in improved ROI through optimized space and inventory levels.
