It’s time to rethink GPO exclusivity and prioritize patient care. Exclusive GPO contracts limit your supply chain's potential. “A GPO that handcuffs you from options is not your partner,” says Dan Hurry, president of Advantus Health Partner. “To drive value, you need options.” Health systems, like consumers choosing between Trader Joe’s and Target, need a variety of options to find the best value. By partnering with a secondary GPO, you can access unique, valuable contracts and vendor partnerships that lower costs and improve patient outcomes. Discover how our unique vendor partnerships and PPI contracts can help you deliver better patient care. https://lnkd.in/g7JygEN7 #SupplyChain #Healthcare #GPO #PatientCare #AdvantusHealthPartners

Purchased services keep health care running, but can easily become a financial drain. Achieving long-term cost savings requires continuous process improvement for a sustainable and mature operation. What does mature supply chain management look like? It involves: • Insight into all expenses in purchased services. • Reducing unnecessary variation in products and services. • Prioritizing patient care, outcomes, and experience. Focusing on these areas can lead to lower costs, improved clinical care quality and fewer medical errors.

In a time of heightened climate awareness, health care organizations are stepping up to address their environmental footprint. “About 10% of U.S. carbon emissions come from health care, with 80% linked to supply chain,” says Jimmy Chung, MD, MBA, FACS, FABQAURP, CPE, CMRP, chief medical officer of Advantus. This presents a significant opportunity to enhance procurement practices, benefiting both the environment and patient health. Dr. Chung highlights in NEJM Catalyst the importance of sustainable procurement. By reprocessing and reusing single-use items, health care systems can reduce waste, lower costs, and improve patient satisfaction. Collaboration and innovation are key to driving lasting change in health care. Ready to make a difference in health care sustainability?
