After two years at number three and six years in the top 10, Intermountain’s move to the number one spot is the culmination of strategy, talent and capital coming together in a sustained effort to transform its supply chain, according to Gartner. The report from Gartner analysts added, “We believe the successes are just beginning for Intermountain.”

“With per person healthcare costs in the U.S. hitting an all-time high this year and with healthcare spending projected to grow over the coming decade at a faster rate than the national economy, managing healthcare costs is a national imperative,” says Marc Harrison, MD, Intermountain Healthcare’s President and CEO. “Intermountain has been leading the way for several years, and our supply chain organization has helped us find significant savings. It’s one of the main reasons Utah healthcare costs are among the lowest in the nation.”
