IRVING, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Vizient® is showcasing an integrated set of supply chain capabilities at the Spring IDN Summit and Reverse Expo designed to help health systems strengthen trust across purchasing, analytics and strategic partnership. The event begins today in Orlando, Fla.
The capabilities include Procure-to-Pay (P2P), the only ISO 9001 certified healthcare solution that manages the full purchasing process — from order through payment — with embedded governance and price accuracy; Procedural Analytics, a data intelligence solution that links pricing, patient encounter- and procedural data to identify variation and connect supply chain decisions to patient outcomes; and the Vizient Partnership Program, a new program that packages analytics, contracting, purchasing execution and advisory services to drive enterprise non-labor spend improvement.
Together, these capabilities are designed to better connect insight to execution while reinforcing consistency, accountability and performance across the supply chain.
“Healthcare supply chain leaders put their credibility on the line every time they commit to savings,” said Simrit Sandhu, president, spend management, Vizient. “When pricing breaks down between contract and invoice, it’s not just a financial gap, it’s a loss of control. By connecting analytics, contracting and execution, we enable leaders to identify, decide and act in real time, bringing discipline and certainty back to every dollar they spend.”
Purchasing execution with embedded governance
Procure-to-Pay enables consistent purchasing execution by automating purchase orders and invoice processing while improving data integrity within the hospital’s item master. The platform integrates with a hospital’s existing enterprise resource planning systems, embeds controls into daily workflows and ensures accurate pricing at the point of purchase.
ISO 9001 certification, a globally recognized standard, reinforces adherence to rigorous quality management practices, supporting consistent and reliable operational performance. Learn more about Vizient’s ISO 9001 certification.
Insight that enables action
Procedural Analytics highlights differences in product costs and utilization across procedures, clinicians, facilities and products, helping organizations pinpoint what’s driving variation — utilization, product mix or price. By linking these insights directly to purchasing decisions and patient outcomes, health systems can take more informed, coordinated action across teams.
A connected approach to supporting health system performance
The Vizient Partnership Program introduces a new approach to engaging with Vizient’s capabilities. Through tiered membership levels, the program integrates access to analytics, contracting, purchasing execution and advisory services.
The integrated operating model aligns contracts, analytics and expertise to drive enterprise non-labor spend performance.
By bringing these capabilities together, Vizient is addressing a core challenge for health systems: ensuring that strategy, insight and execution are consistently aligned. Learn more about Vizient’s supply chain solutions.
