How GPOs Work
Greater Purchasing Power Starts with Working Together
________
Independent dialysis providers need access to the products and services that keep their organizations running and their patients cared for. But purchasing independently can make it difficult to secure the same pricing and contract terms available to larger healthcare organizations.
A GPO brings the purchasing volume of multiple healthcare organizations together, creating greater collective buying power. By negotiating contracts with trusted vendors on behalf of its members, a GPO can help participating organizations access competitive pricing, favorable terms, and valuable purchasing opportunities while allowing each member to maintain its independence.
At RenalEdge, we bring this model directly to the renal healthcare community.

The Power of Group Purchasing
The concept is simple: there is strength in numbers.
When independent providers purchase products and services individually, their negotiating power is often based on their own purchasing volume. A GPO combines the potential purchasing volume of many participating organizations, giving vendors an opportunity to serve a larger group of customers.
In return, GPO members may gain access to negotiated contracts, preferred pricing, and other purchasing advantages that may be difficult to obtain on their own.
Independent organizations. Collective purchasing power. Greater opportunities for savings.
