Total Workflow Control with Hospital e-Procurement Solutions from GHX
Spurred by growing recognition of the supply chain’s role in achieving both cost and quality objectives, best-in-class healthcare organizations are taking a holistic approach to improving requisition workflow. These organizations no longer view procurement as a tactical supply chain function, but rather as a strategic impera¬tive at the enterprise level.
Enterprises have put technology to work in the procurement process, automating the often lengthy approval process and completing the purchase of medical-surgical supplies via the GHX health Exchange. GHX hospital e-procurement tools streamline and expedite a hospital’s once paper-based, labor-intensive requisition workflow process, and enable cost saving operations across other areas of supply chain management. Without e-procurement tools, organizations have little control when it comes to the purchasing of on-contract items, whether items are purchased at the correct contract price, and the length of time from requisition to PO to invoicing.
Reduce Paperwork and Save Time with GHX Healthcare e-Sourcing Solutions
GHX healthcare e-sourcing solutions significantly reduce paperwork work and improve process workflow, saving countless hours of labor. Hospitals are under more pressure than ever before to control costs without compromising quality. In this challenging environment, all elements of a healthcare business are under review, from staffing to pharmaceuticals to supply chain operations.
When it comes to supply chain operations, procurement is becoming a key performance indicator for healthcare systems that need to better manage spend and contract compliance, as well as link costs, efficiencies and clinical outcomes. Procurement optimization, like any other business transformation, isn’t easy. It takes time, discipline and commitment by everyone involved. But the rewards that can be realized make it worth the effort.
