Cost-o-suction: AmSurg Wields e-Procurement Scalpel to Reduce Spend
Medical center operator taps SciQuest e-procurement solution to automate purchasing of medical goods and services, capture up to 70 percent of spend with preferred suppliers
Cary, NC — December 19, 2007 — Medical facilities company AmSurg has tapped an e-procurement solution from SciQuest as part of an initiative to automate purchasing across its 170 ambulatory surgery centers and gain visibility into its enterprise-wide spend, the solution provider has announced.
AmSurg Corp. operates surgery centers in partnership with physician practice groups throughout the United States. In addition to eliminating its paper-based methods and increasing efficiencies through e-procurement technology, AmSurg aims to ensure that the company's purchasing dollars are being spent with its preferred list of contracted suppliers.
"The move away from paper-based purchasing to e-procurement through SciQuest will be key in helping AmSurg strategically manage spending and reduce costs across our surgery centers," said Todd Hamilton, associate vice president of supply chain management at AmSurg.
Hamilton said that AmSurg was impressed with SciQuest's track record with other large healthcare, research institutions and universities, as well as the solution provider's product capabilities, supplier enablement services and the expertise of its people.
AmSurg will be looking to SciQuest's e-procurement solution to gain greater visibility into its enterprise-wide purchasing and spend management practices so that the company can monitor compliance to contracts, reduce purchasing of higher priced, off-contract products and enable its staff to more easily find and purchase the medical products and services they need.
