Healthcare Group Purchasing Service Contracting
Remember the ‘forgotten expense,’ and save up to 15%.
Purchased services—such as food and nutrition, environmental services, laundry and patient transport—account for more than 16% of a typical hospital’s operating expense. Yet hospitals often forget about these charges, because they hit many different departments. The Broadlane Group™ doesn’t.
Our Strategic Sourcing Solutions division can help you trim these costs. It’s so easy to switch to our contracts, you would be able to forget purchased services again. Except this time you would save $6 to $15 on every $100 you spend.
Broadlane awards national contracts to the most reputable suppliers in the industry. We’re also looking to add suppliers in new categories. Current categories of coverage include:
- Food and nutrition services
- Environmental services
- Patient transport and call center
- Laundry and linen
Our Purchased Services Contracting provides the protection of solid terms and conditions, while allowing flexibility at the local level to address specific needs. We measure performance to ensure contracted suppliers meet staff and patient expectations—a continuous-improvement feedback loop.
Broadlane also has a dedicated support team of industry experts to provide direction on facility assessment, competitive bidding and supplier performance measurement across the entire supply chain system. Purchased services clients have access to these resources to gain contracting insight and best practice recommendations.
Contact Strategic Sourcing Solutions and you’ll come out ahead by forgetting about purchased services.
