“Most important are the results GHXcellence Award winning organizations are driving and the best practice examples they’re setting. Looking at the performance of last year’s award winners, we’ve estimated an aggregated savings of $28 million for those organizations as they’ve improved their processes and extended their use of GHX solutions,”said Derek Smith, chief commercial officer for GHX. “This is the healthcare community’s opportunity to nominate organizations that are leading the industry in supply chain innovation. We’re looking forward to honoring the provider and supplier organizations that are collaborating to improve processes, and using automation to drive significant savings, efficiency and accuracy.”
Attendees of the 2014 Healthcare Supply Chain Summit will be able to recognize these leaders for their innovation, business performance and results, as the winners are revealed during the general session on Tuesday, May 6, 2014.
