CM13D2 – Greening The Supply Chain: GPOS Pioneering The Way

Session Description 

According to a recent study, 54 percent of hospitals say green attributes are very important in their purchasing decisions and support improved patient outcomes. Demand from hospitals and health systems for ?green' products has been heard and has long been supported by five of the largest group purchasing organizations (GPOs). Last year, working together, the GPOs took a big step putting competition aside to find new solutions to drive market change. In a panel discussion format, find out what the GPOs have accomplished, how your organization can play a role and the steps hospitals can take to support market change. Learn why standardization is important and the next steps being considered for inclusion in RFPs.
