Vizient, Inc. (Irving, TX) is partnering with suppliers to provide relief for hospitals from the strains of delivering patient care, monitoring and rehabilitation services brought on by COVID-19.
The GPO says that the new resources and technology offerings “address hospitals’ immediate and unique needs but are also designed as sustainable approaches to care delivery and improving patient satisfaction.”
Medtronic Care Management Services and Zimmer Biomet are participating in the program. The programs are focused on suppliers who can offer optimized telehealth support relative to care of patients and remote monitoring and rehabilitation services for those who have implanted medical devices.
Other services for implants include case support, coding assistance, performance-based price stabilization, inventory management and risk sharing.
