Much more than a traditional GPO

Our legacy committed model is just the beginning.  While other GPOs are trying to align regional scale and market compliance, we are delivering on the pillars of total spend management.  Our esteemed membership and national purchasing power provides unrivaled price advantage on supplies.  And our accountability – including service line leadership, shared services experience, physician engagement and innovative pilots – provides industry leading benchmarks and best practices from the nation’s leading health systems.  This “operator advantage” informs every assessment and recommendation we make. Our inSight Advisory team is the differentiator in guiding and implementing performance improvement in cost, quality and outcomes.

The Healthcare Group Purchasing Industry Initiative (HGPII)’s Public Accountability Report for 2023 has just been released. This annual survey is the most comprehensive review of business standards and ethics compliance within the healthcare supply chain.  HealthTrust is proud to be charter member of this prestigious organization.

Lowering the Cost of Care Delivery

Our “speed to scale” is a game-changer.  Five HealthTrust members represent approximately $20B in supply spend – a scale that is unmatched by the top 25 accounts of our competitors – IF they were aligned.  The result is market-leading pricing on clinically-approved products in exchange for a committed market share that other GPOs simply cannot match.   That alignment assures a SUSTAINABLE price advantage – meaning year-over year price improvement as we refresh the portfolio.  Gone are the days of forecasting and budgeting supply-cost escalation due to annual category price increases.   Our price advantage extends to all classes of trade via AdvantageTrust (non-acute GPO) and CoreTrust (non-healthcare GPO).  And our “operator advantage” does too, covering pharmacy, food service, facilities, energy, HR, I.T. even the hidden supply cache in the operating room.

Redefining the Value Equation

Value-based care requires data and thoughtful clinical evaluation of new technologies and practice variation.  InSight Advisory provides the analytics, champions the initiatives and drives the results through engagement with physicians and operators. Cost savings initiatives sometimes “get lost on the way to the P&L.”   A robust value analysis process, clinical collaboration and operating discipline assure the alignment that is critical to thriving  under reimbursement systems that reward both lower costs and higher quality.

Proven Workforce Management Solutions

With labor costs representing the single largest expenditure and not enough qualified healthcare professionals to meet ever-increasing demand, it is no surprise that hospitals cite their workforce as their greatest asset and challenge.

Built upon a rich hospital operator legacy, HealthTrust utilizes proven practices to enhance patient and employee satisfaction, optimize labor productivity and manage labor costs.

We are your strategic partner, offering customized workforce solutions ranging from forecasting and productivity benchmarking to physician recruiting, nurse staffing, and innovative nurse training programs designed to close skill and experience gaps.

Celebrating 25 Years

Formed in 1999, HealthTrust has evolved from a traditional group purchasing organization (GPO) into a total healthcare performance improvement company anchored by three distinct GPOs (acute care, non-acute care, and purchased services). HealthTrust’s unique perspective, diverse expertise and capabilities drive immediate value across all performance categories, including supply expense, labor and purchased services, among others.

*“New technology” is classified as a product that, as compared to existing products:

  • Offers significant technological advancements,
  • Improves clinical outcomes or patient care in a significant way (i.e., documented reduction in procedure times, outcomes, lengths of stay, readmissions, infection rates), or
  • Streamlines work processes and/or the economics of facility operations in a significant way (i.e., increase or decrease expenses in supply chain or resource utilization).

Demonstration of the above through independent, peer-reviewed publication(s) is beneficial, but not required.*
