Client Success Story: Midwest Hospital Achieves Exceptional Results with the Right Partnership

Background/Challenge

An independent hospital in the Midwest wanted to improve their supply chain operations and maximize savings so they could improve their overall financial performance while remaining independent. Before Elevate, they were part of a rural affiliate network as part of a larger Integrated Delivery Network (IDN) but as a smaller hospital, they didn’t always get the day-to-day support, decision-making ability, or savings impact they desired, leading to a search for a partner that would be more of a resource and more involved in helping them reach their goals.

Solution

As a member of a 52-billion-dollar group purchasing organization, Elevate enabled the hospital to achieve significant cost savings across their total organizational spend. Elevate’s dedication to supporting independent, community-based hospitals and health systems allowed them to act as an extension of the hospital’s supply chain team, ensuring operational, clinical, and financial goals were met. This opportunity to deliver exceptional care at a reduced cost ensured the hospital could continue as an independent hospital.

Elevate’s team of operators supports more than 160 clients across 39 states bringing a level of expertise that enables clients to exceed their goals.

Results

After just two months in the partnership, the results have been remarkable. Together, Elevate and the hospital have achieved:

50% savings on Small Parcel Freight 
5-point reduction in Medical/Surgical distribution mark-up 
Expected +15% savings on Medical/Surgical spend 
6.4% savings on Dietary/Food Services

Quote

“Partnering with Elevate has enabled our client to meet and surpass their expectations in just the first few months of working together. This is only the beginning of the transformative impact on this hospital, and I’m excited to see the continued value and improvements in the years ahead.”
