Synergies Program

Vision
The Excel GSO/MedAssets HSCA Healthcare Information Services (HIS) Program provides savings solutions to member healthcare organizations. In an era of shrinking revenues and rising medical supply costs, every procurement dollar matters. HIS offers superior services to materials managers and purchasing departments contending with today's healthcare issues. Synergies programs are setting the industry standard through customized data management tools and ultimately aiding an organization in the reduction of supply and procurement costs.
Supply Chain SOLUTIONS
Attentive SUPPORT
Revolutionary SERVICES
In the healthcare industry, purchasing data resides in various locations and diverse formats. Despite this challenge, HIS integrates purchasing data into meaningful management information to assist in accessing correct contract pricing. It is common for a Synergies program to identify more than $100,000 in annual savings for a mid-sized hospital, and as much as $1 million for a healthcare system.

Strategic Information and Implementation
Strategic Information (SI) is a Synergies tool providing purchasing volume and trending analysis based on a healthcare organization's purchasing data. The analysis generates feedback through monthly reports. After electronic collection, consolidation, and analysis of materials management data, the information is reviewed for savings opportunities. HIS identifies cost reduction opportunities and assists organizations in maintaining accurate, clean, and functioning databases.

Strategic Information for Integrated Delivery Networks
Strategic Information (SI) provides incremental opportunities for Integrated Delivery Networks (IDNs) by aggregating purchasing data at the healthcare system and corporate level. Even if hospitals use various materials management systems within the healthcare system, Synergies tools streamline the analysis and produce standardized and customized reports. SI is more than just reporting; it is a consultative service combining our sophisticated web-based tools, as well as clinical and procurement expertise to provide optimal savings opportunities for our subscribers.

Master Item Files
Master Item Files (MIFs) become corrupted, difficult to manage, and data becomes inconsistent over time. A consolidated and standardized MIF is essential for all facilities, especially IDNs. Synergies programs assist in standardizing and cleansing MIF data for individual healthcare organizations or IDNs.

CDQuick Electronic Catalogs
Consolidated Contract Catalog & Formulary (3CF) is a medical/surgical electronic catalog created in 1991 by Excel GSO/MedAssets HSCA to provide members access to over 500 contract cover sheets and over 500,000 line items. During the past decade, the catalog has been enhanced and remains the most current, customer centric, and technologically advanced tool available to the healthcare industry. CDQuick facilitates cost reduction, centralization of the ordering function and becomes a single source of contract information for members to utilize. The MedAssets e-catalog is extremely fast, stable, mature, scalable, and reliable. E-catalogs are customized for a particular healthcare organization's needs and contract specifications.
