Through the 10-year agreement, effective January 13, 2017, ROi will serve as the exclusive GPO for HPS’ national contract portfolio.
In addition to its national contract portfolio, the agreement gives HPS members access to ROi’s complete slate of offerings, including strategic contracting and sourcing, utilization management, service line management, clinical and operational consulting, clinical and supply chain analytics, private label products and custom surgical packs.
“Our driving passion is in providing value to our members,” said Tom LaPres, president and chief executive officer, HPS. “When the opportunity to partner with ROi presented itself, and as we learned more about their company, their employees and how they operate, we had no doubt their mission and values aligned perfectly with HPS.
“Our core membership base is made up of organizations that have a direct impact on the communities they serve, like hospitals and senior living facilities, for example. The people who make up HPS and ROi understand this, and we all understand how important it is that we remain diligent in offering relevant, meaningful services now and in the future. We are certain this will be a great partnership for everyone involved.”
