AdventHealth ranked first for the second consecutive year in Gartner’s 2025 Healthcare Supply Chain Top 25. Stanford Medicine, Bon Secours Mercy Health, Rush University System for Health and Corewell Health rounded out the top five.
“This year’s leaders demonstrated the power of leveraging technology, including AI-driven insights, to extend their span of control, strengthen clinical partnerships and build smarter, more agile supply chains,” said Salil Joshi, senior director analyst in Gartner’s Supply Chain practice.
The top themes for 2025 included resurgence of cost management, accelerating the digital supply chain, and expanding clinical collaboration initiatives.
“Healthcare supply chains are under pressure to deliver cost savings, improve resiliency and implement AI to transform their operations,” Joshi said.
In the face of global trade volatility, systems are building financial risk models, diversifying suppliers, and using real-time tools to monitor supplier risks. Heavy use of AI-driven analytics is generating actionable insights, and there is stronger alignment between supply chain leaders and clinical teams.
The Healthcare Supply Chain Top 25 ranking is derived from two main analyses: quantitative measures and opinion components. Additional analysis is available in the report Gartner Healthcare Supply Chain Top 25.
