Group Purchasing

Increase Your Purchasing Power and Reduce Supply Costs Through Quorum Purchasing Advantage.

Supply expense is the 2nd largest cost in hospitals.  How much money are you leaving on the table?  Quorum’s purchasing power comes from volume, to negotiate not only the best prices but to demand high quality products and services for our clients.

Here’s how Quorum can help.

Quorum offers substantial purchasing discounts on products and services to our hospital clients. Representing nearly 150 hospitals, our group purchasing volume exceeds any other organization and gives you access to the deepest discounts available from our group purchasing partner, HealthTrust Purchasing Group (HPG).

The Purchasing Power of QHR

Through our affiliation with HealthTrust Purchasing Group (HPG), Quorum offers clients access to a GPO portfolio of competitive contracts on supplies and equipment. HPG’s membership is largely comprised of investor-owned systems that can dictate contract compliance and utilization throughout their organizations.

Quorum allows not-for-profit hospitals to leverage the committed purchasing volume of investor owned systems to obtain discounted pricing that is a proven 5 – 8% lower than other GPOs.
