November 14, 2024- Gartner, Inc. has released its 16th annual Gartner Healthcare Supply Chain Top 25 ranking, which recognizes U.S. health systems that demonstrate leadership in supply chain.
AdventHealth claims the top spot for the first time, jumping two spots from 2023. Stanford Health Care, Bon Secours Mercy Health, Corewell Health and Banner Health round out the top five (see Table 1). Inova, Endeavor Health, St. Luke’s Health System and Vanderbilt Health debut on the 2024 ranking, while BayCare Health System and HCA Healthcare return this year.
For the Healthcare Supply Chain Top 25 for 2024, Gartner has added a quantitative risk management component to the ranking to credit health systems for taking a leading role in their approach to risk management. Twelve health systems in the Top 25 and Masters received a score of 10 out of 10 for risk management and 23 received some credit in this area.
In its seventh year, the Healthcare Supply Chain Top 25 Masters category recognizes sustained supply chain leadership at health systems. This recognition is awarded only to supply chains that have achieved a top-five score at least seven times in the past 10 years. Cleveland Clinic attains Masters status for the first time joining Mayo Clinic and Intermountain Healthcare who have both achieved Masters status for seven years in a row.
