Supply Chain & Purchased Services

Manage non-labor expenses collaboratively and effectively

As healthcare organizations struggle to cover booming labor costs, we help leaders double down on non-labor improvements that generate hard cash savings. Our team specializes in non-labor cost management tactics that optimize governance structures to control spend, enhance stakeholder engagement, and optimize supply chain information and technology infrastructure. These efforts support operations and patient care. Through this relentless focus, we partner with our clients to drive pricing and utilization opportunities across clinical commodity supplies, physician preference items, and purchased services.

Leaders trust us to help rethink non-labor expense management in ways that improve patient care, save money, create new revenue, and make their supply chain operations stronger and more resilient.
