Supply chain project yields positive results
A supply chain improvement project involving 12 hospitals in southwestern Missouri and southeastern Kansas has yielded reduced spending on clinical products and improved infection control efforts.
The hospitals are participants of the Greater Ozarks Sourcing Collaborative, a regional purchasing network formed through VHA Inc., an Irving, Texas-based national group purchasing organization of not-for-profit healthcare facilities.
Since January 2008, the Missouri and Kansas hospitals have realized total savings of more than $369,000.
