Description | Provides analysis of the healthcare organization's or its affiliate organizations' spending patterns for non-pharmacy items. The measures provide insight into potential savings for utilizing on-contract vs. off-contract spending, purchase of functional equivalents, and so on. Many healthcare organizations are members of group purchasing alliances allowing them to achieve lower unit costs based on the combined purchase volumes of the group. Under such arrangements the group will negotiate purchase contracts with vendors and the members can avail of these contract prices but are not always obliged to do so and in some cases a member may be able to agree a lower price with a vendor. |
