International healthcare technology and services company Global Healthcare Exchange (GHX) has awarded Valley Medical Center the GHXcellence Award for U.S. Provider of the Year: Small to Mid-size Facility.
VMC earned the award for leveraging opportunities in the supply chain to cut costs, reduce waste and improve business performance while improving patient care, according to a press release.
GHXellence Awards are based on specific metrics related to automating supply chain processes and creating efficiencies.
“One of the most significant contributions the supply chain can make to a hospital is offering new ways to reduce the costs associated with providing healthcare. Negotiating lower prices is no longer enough,” said Lindy Dillingham, Director, Materials Management, Valley Medical Center.
Valley Medical Center will be recognized next month at the GHX 2012 Healthcare Supply Chain Summit.
