Healthcare Group Purchasing Organization FAQs
A healthcare group purchasing organization brings hospitals, clinics, and other providers together to increase buying power and secure better pricing on supplies, services, and contracts. By participating in a GPO, healthcare organizations can reduce costs without changing how they operate.
A GPO helps healthcare organizations save money by negotiating contracts at scale. This allows members to access better pricing, reduce supply chain expenses, and uncover savings opportunities across multiple purchasing categories.
No — there is no cost to join HECo-op. There are no hidden fees or obligations, and organizations can choose which contracts and services they want to use.
No. Healthcare organizations can continue working with their current vendors. HECo-op provides access to additional contracts and pricing options, allowing you to adopt changes at your own pace.
Our GPO supplies program includes a wide range of categories, such as medical and surgical supplies, foodservice, office products, staffing services, and more. Healthcare organizations can access contracts that fit their specific needs.
Many organizations begin identifying savings opportunities shortly after their initial analysis. Implementation timelines vary, but most healthcare organizations can start realizing savings as they begin using contracts.
