Saluting Healthcare Purchasing Leaders

Healthcare Purchasing News has recognized and honored materials management leaders, focusing on department directors and key executives between 1986 and 2000. In 2004, however, HPN expanded the honor to the annual “Materials Management Department of the Year” award, which acknowledges the dedication of the entire staff for effective and efficient supply management.

Are you an award-winning Surgical Services team? Share your story!

Lives being saved and bodies being mended within the operating room certainly represent an essential service in healthcare, but a growing number of providers are accomplishing their missions while monitoring, managing and improving their expenses. The OR may be a revenue generator for a healthcare organization, but that function also comes at great costs, making Surgical Services an expense center, too. Some forward-thinking Surgical Services teams are narrowing the gap between revenues and expenses within their facilities. Might that be your team? You won’t know unless you nominate your team for HPN's Surgical Performance Excellence in Supply Chain award!

Are you an award-winning Value Analysis team? Share your story!

This team of clinical, financial and operational experts balance expense management with product and service optimization, with interdepartmental relationships and multidisciplinary communication and with patient care outcomes.

Might your team be worthy of recognition? You won’t know unless you nominate your team for HPN's Value Analysis Performance Excellence in Supply Chain award to debut and be featured in the October edition of the magazine!
