February 23, 2023 – Medline announced it has entered a multi-year prime vendor partnership with Florida-based Synthase Collaborative, a partnership of four post-acute and home-based care organizations that provide not-for-profit hospice, palliative care, and other chronic Illness management community focused programs and services.
As the primary supplier, Medline will exclusively provide an extensive portfolio of essential medical supplies, such as incontinence, advanced wound care, skin care products and general nursing supplies to Synthase’s member organizations — Avow, Treasure Coast Hospice, St. Francis Reflections Lifestage Care and Haven. Together, the organizations provide care to over 2,200 patients daily in 23 Florida counties.
The distribution partnership focuses on monitoring product utilization to manage supply costs and drive best-in-class patient care. This is achieved through leveraging a Medline formulary of supplies aligned to patient needs and monitoring supply usage to charge Synthase’s member organizations a patient-per-day rate, adjusted based on actual utilization.
