On May 15, GHX honored 15 healthcare providers and supplies for their exceptional commitment to advancing healthcare and supporting patients through the GHXcellence Awards.
By implementing automation and a unified approach to new device launches, the medtech industry can better serve all stakeholders and drive revenue while improving patient outcomes.
Healthcare is on the cusp of a significant digital transformation as it embraces the latest technologies, such as cloud-based systems, digital tools, machine learning and AI models.
GHX named 89 healthcare providers and supplier organizations to its 2023 Millennium Club, which recognizes organizations that have automated more than 1 million transactions annually through the GHX Exchange, signifying a commitment to a digital-first supply chain.
Global Healthcare Exchange awarded 25 medium health systems and hospitals with its inaugural supply chain distinction award based on "perfect order" metrics.
GHX awarded 25 large hospital systems, including Providence, Catholic Health and Mount Sinai Health System, for what the organization deemed a "perfect" supply chain.
The healthcare industry's digital transformation will have a profound impact on the supply chain in 2024. Adoption of modern technologies, such as cloud computing, will lead to increased automation and efficiency.
Accrediting organizations such as CMS and OSHA have intensified their focus on the safety and security of healthcare facilities as incidents of violence continue to rise. Facility managers must work in collaboration with compliance teams and others to address new regulations.
AI and automation will buttress supply chain expertise to aid healthcare’s digital transformation, supporting emerging trends such as hospital-at-home.
The rise of ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) offers a new way for the industry to provide cost-effective, high-quality care to patients, but ASCs must build a clinically integrated enterprise through automation for long-term success.
There are a few foundational steps ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) can take now to build a truly clinically integrated enterprise that will help them save costs and reduce variation – all without sacrificing the quality of care they offer.
To reduce the complexity and realize significant cost savings, healthcare must prioritize automating implant orders, ensuring the right products reach the right patients at the right time.
Despite the cloud's benefits, some healthcare organizations have delayed or modified their migration timelines due to various challenges. GHX's Chief Technology Officer discusses why a sound data strategy is crucial to overcoming these challenges.
GHX and the Association of Healthcare Value Analysis Professionals (AHVAP) share the results of an industry-wide survey designed to analyze the current state of healthcare value analysis (HVA) and how these programs are functioning in a post-pandemic era, revealing a range of complex challenges and opportunities.
Healthcare supply chain ordering has become largely automated, except for implant ordering which continues to rely on manual processes. Recently, a group of industry leaders collaborated to identify potential strategies and solutions to automate implant ordering.
Less than half of hospitals are using cloud technology for supply chain management, but by 2026, that figure is expected to increase to nearly 70 percent, according to a GHX survey.
