Manage cost of purchased services in healthcare

As much as 20 – 25% of a hospital’s total expense is within indirect spend and healthcare purchased services. Managing that amount of spend, plus identifying new savings opportunities and maximizing value on top of existing savings are not always easy. It’s a challenge we have mastered and can help you reap the results.

Through expertise, technology and our contract portfolio, we can help you better control expense of categories and achieve substantial savings in indirect spend and purchased services, and often overlooked categories.
