Healthcare Group Purchasing Industry Initiative
About the Healthcare Group Purchasing Industry Initiative
Healthcare group purchasing organizations help healthcare providers meet one of their greatest challenges – controlling costs while advancing quality patient care. The Initiative is a voluntary association of healthcare GPOs created in 2005 to encourage and sustain best ethical and business conduct practices in the GPO industry.
The Initiative’s founding members are Amerinet, Broadlane, Child Health Corporation of America, Consorta, GNYHA Ventures, Inc., Healthtrust Purchasing Group, MedAssets, Novation and Premier Inc. These companies include most of the largest group purchasing organizations in the United States, estimated to represent more than 80 percent of the volume purchased through GPOs.
