ABOUT HSCA
What is a GPO?
A group purchasing organization (GPO) is an entity that helps healthcare providers — such as hospitals, nursing homes and home health agencies — realize savings and efficiencies by aggregating purchasing volume and using that leverage to negotiate discounts with manufacturers, distributors and other vendors. Find out why our GPO members are valued partners in healthcare.
INDUSTRY LEADERSHIP
What Is CHeS?
The Committee for Healthcare eStandards (CHeS) was formed in 2000 as a collaborative of organizations dedicated to promoting the adoption and use of open data standards in the healthcare industry. In 2008, CHeS joined and became part of HSCA, continuing its role as a leading advocate for the promotion of data standards within the healthcare supply chain.
Issues
From generic drug prices to cybersecurity, from drug shortages to global standards, GPOs are working to help ensure that hospitals and other healthcare providers can deliver uninterrupted, high-quality care to the patients they serve.
Resources
GPOs are the sourcing and purchasing partners to American healthcare providers and deliver critical cost savings to hospitals, Medicare and Medicaid, and taxpayers.
