St. Louis, Missouri (PRWEB) April 18, 2017 -- Intalere, the healthcare industry leader in delivering optimal cost, quality and clinical outcomes, today announced it has been chosen by Ernest Health, to collaborate on supply chain services and strategy within the organization’s network of acute rehabilitation and long-term acute care (LTAC) hospitals.
“At Ernest Health, we embrace the ever-present challenge of achieving maximum, measurable patient outcomes through the provision of affordable, cost-effective care,” said Keith Longson, chief financial officer, Ernest Health. “In partnering with Intalere, we believe that we have found a partner with a similar focus, and we look forward to collaborating on initiatives that will allow us to achieve the best possible cost and quality outcomes for our patients.”
Ernest Health, headquartered in Albuquerque, N.M., provides specialized medical and rehabilitative services to patients through its network of 25 acute rehabilitation and long-term acute care hospitals.

Ernest Health’s facilities are located throughout the United States in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Montana, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas, Utah and Wyoming. Each hospital is managed locally to best meet the needs of each community, but they remain dedicated to sharing information, knowledge and resources throughout all their hospitals in order to continually evaluate and improve the delivery of care to patients.
Ernest Health and Intalere will initially focus on projects in the areas of medical/surgical supplies, pharmacy, equipment planning and construction support.
“The Intalere service model is built around strong collaboration between care delivery and supply chain, applying experience and data to help achieve best results,” said Jim Wilson, Intalere chief strategy officer. “We look forward to bringing value and greater operational efficiencies to Ernest Health through our new partnership.”
