CHAMPS GPO Announces Members Saving of Nearly $25 Million
Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) October 04, 2013 -- CHAMPS Group Purchasing’s top priority is to provide cost savings to their nationwide membership of more than 5,000 affiliates. Serving hospitals, long-term care facilities, surgery centers, clinical labs and more, CHAMPS GPO account managers continuously look for savings opportunities and collaborate with CHAMPS members to identify and implement savings across the members’ supply chain.
“For more than 20 years, our number one priority has been to help our members reach their maximum savings potential by identifying and implementing cost savings through our unique customer service model, custom contracting and savings analysis tools,” said Yolandi Myers, vice president, CHAMPS Group Purchasing.
In 2012, CHAMPS account managers and data analysts identified nearly $25 million in savings. Collecting savings data and having the opportunity to implement savings is highly dependent on the successful collaborative relationship CHAMPS account managers build with CHAMPS members. CHAMPS GPO members save as a result of the trusting relationship and the healthcare expertise their dedicated account managers bring to the table.
CHAMPS account managers understand the value of a transparent business collaboration. This transparency allows CHAMPS to provide its members with customizable analytic tools, which identify further savings opportunities as well as savings statements.
