July 23, 2021 – HealthTrust (Nashville, TN) announced that El Camino Health has signed an agreement for GPO and ancillary services and will join HealthTrust’s member roster in the fourth quarter of 2021.
In support of El Camino Health’s strategic supply chain priorities, HealthTrust will deliver Day 1 value-enhancing contracting and analytical capabilities for clinical and non-clinical supplies and services, purchased services, pharmacy, construction and food services.
Ranked among the top U.S. hospitals for outstanding patient experience by Healthgrades, and for high performance in clinical outcomes, operational efficiency, patient experience, and financial health by Fortune/IBM Watson, El Camino Health is an integrated healthcare system comprised of two not-for-profit acute-care hospitals in Los Gatos and Mountain View, California and urgent care, multi-specialty care and primary care locations across Santa Clara County.
“This new agreement with HealthTrust will afford us the opportunity to refine our acquisition expenses for supplies and services, enhance contract coverage, maximize value-added services and improve the support offered from a GPO,” said Carlos Bohorquez, chief financial officer of El Camino Health. “We are able to achieve this without compromising any of the quality or service standards our physicians, patients and staff have come to expect from us.”
