Wings Specialized Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) is a program that helps healthcare providers — such as hospitals, nursing homes and home health agencies — realize savings and efficiencies by aggregating purchasing volume and utilizing strategic industry relationships to leverage and negotiate discounts with manufacturers, distributors, services and other vendor related expenses. Wings GPO has established relationships, a qualified experienced team and unique strategies to provide products and services at lower purchasing margins while maintaining and increasing the durability, safety and quality. The Government Accounting Office (GAO) published a study indicating that GPOs did not always reduce the cost of supplies and equipment for healthcare facilities, but in some cases increased these costs by as much as 37%. Wings’ Specialized GPO was established to prevent this possibility from happening to its clients.
Wings GPO is strategically unique in the full analysis and focus on reduction in costs while keeping a high level of ROI efficiencies. In many cases GPO organizations focus heavily on reducing costs for their clients while minimizing other crucial factors. This may initially realize cost savings short term, but the immediate future materializes into increased safety risks, equipment failure, increased repairs, negative employee morale, and state compliance challenges. This is a short list of real issues that many organizations face on an increased basis. Wings Healthcare Solutions provides the strategies necessary to increase quality while reducing direct and indirect costs. Let Wings’ Specialized GPO show you the difference!
