Twenty-five medium health systems and hospitals were awarded Global Healthcare Exchange's inaugural supply chain distinction award.
GHX ranked U.S. hospitals by "perfect order" metrics, or their percentage of purchase order lines "that are touchless and completely automated, from purchase through payment," the organization said March 5. The organization also awarded 25 small and 25 large hospitals and systems.
GHX also launched a perfect order dashboard to feature performance metrics and rankings each month.
