Sourcing and Procurement

Healthcare providers, like most organizations, face the critical challenge of providing the best goods and services for customers and employees while attempting to minimize costs to remain competitive.

The Claro Group understands these challenges. Our professionals have worked with more than 150 organizations – including many academic medical centers, integrated health delivery systems and community hospitals – to identify and implement sustainable strategic sourcing and procurement solutions and initiatives.

The Claro Group's strategic sourcing and procurement solutions bring proven solutions to complex issues:

• Increasing non-labor costs
• Pressures to reduce costs for both indirect and direct materials and services
• Decentralized operations and buying
• Lack of spend visibility
• Presence of too many vendors
• Improving technology and processes related to the requisition-to-payment process

We work with healthcare providers to analyze direct and indirect costs across the organization through spend analytics and to implement strategic sourcing, GPO optimization, demand management, capital acquisition and supplier relationship management strategies that drive bottom-line results – with little or no impact on physicians.

An effective sourcing and procurement framework should consider the following components:
