HealthTrust, an affiliate of Parallon, was selected by AllSpire Health GPO, LLC (AllSpire), a new regional group purchasing organization (GPO), to be its exclusive national GPO and support the development of a regional contract portfolio for categories where local market dynamics drive optimal value and service. Under terms of the agreement, each of the six health systems that own AllSpire will be HealthTrust members and fully utilize its committed portfolio. HealthTrust will further lead the development of the AllSpire custom portfolio for medical devices and purchased services.
According to HealthTrust President and CEO Ed Jones, "This strategic partnership underscores the importance of committed scale to group purchasing. Our national scale and core portfolio, combined with AllSpire’s market share for local agreements, will provide to AllSpire owners unparalleled value across all supply categories. We have a unique opportunity to demonstrate how a regional purchasing coalition can align with HealthTrust to optimize supply savings and eliminate the redundant sourcing efforts typical of GPO models without committed portfolios. We are especially proud to be involved in the creation of AllSpire Health GPO, which we believe will become the market leader in the region.”
