2021 GHX Millennium Club Honorees Lead Healthcare Supply Chain Transformation

Nearly 80 Provider and Supplier Organizations Harness Automation to Support Patient Care and Cost Savings Initiatives

LOUISVILLE, Colo., April 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Global Healthcare Exchange (GHX) named nearly 80 healthcare provider and supplier organizations to the 2021 GHX Millennium Club. Since 2015, the Millennium Club honors healthcare organizations that achieved the highest levels of healthcare supply chain automation, generating at least one million automated transactions (including advanced order sets) annually through the GHX Exchange, the industry's largest cloud-based supply chain network. This year's honorees will be recognized at an awards celebration during the 2022 GHX Summit, May 9-12, 2022, at the Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida.

Millennium Club honorees were selected by GHX based on an evaluation of supply chain automation levels in 2021 across more than 4,500 North American hospitals and suppliers that are currently connected to the GHX Exchange. Through advanced supply chain automation, members of this year's Millennium Club have been able to reduce the cost of care while improving patient outcomes. In 2021, the number of supply chain transactions increased by approximately 10% from the prior year.

"This year's honorees represent the transformative power of supply chain automation in advancing healthcare's mission of achieving a more value-based care system," said Bruce Johnson, president and CEO at GHX. "By investing in a technology-driven supply chain, these forward-thinking organizations are supporting greater visibility, accuracy and collaboration between trading partners and within their own organizations. With cleaner, more accurate and automated transactions, healthcare organizations can spend more time focused on delivering the highest quality of care at the lowest cost for patients."
