Core tenet aspirations in spend management
Assurance
You can’t provide great patient care without the supplies you need on hand, at an affordable price.
- Vizient helped build in predictability during uncertain times, helping providers avoid $124 million in inflationary costs in 2022 while making $28.5 million in alternative manufacturing investments to improve supply availability.
- Through our Novaplus Enhanced Supply Program we’ve partnered with suppliers to guarantee more than 650M units of essential medical supplies and help providers access over 130M million of units of essential medications so you will have peace of mind that patient care will continue even in the face of shortages.
Supplier Diversity
You want more opportunities to buy from diverse suppliers, nationally and locally, to have a real economic and community health impact
- More than 150 certified, diverse suppliers are on national contract to help you drive innovation and cost savings.
- Community Contracting identifies local, diverse suppliers who can provide needed goods and services; and, ensures your dollars stay local while increasing community prosperity and healthier patient populations.
Environmental Sustainability
You want to advance your sustainability efforts to make a positive impact on human and environmental health. More than 8% of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions come from healthcare, with about 80% of those emissions stemming from the supply chain — also known as scope 3 emissions. Vizient was the first GPO to implement carbon emission language in our contracts for suppliers.
