This week, HSCA launched a new Small Supplier Portal--the latest in a series of steps proactively undertaken by GPOs to increase transparency and access. The Small Supplier Portal serves as an additional gateway to GPOs and information on their contracting processes, enabling small and diverse medical device suppliers gain information about the GPO contract process and helping them bring their products to the marketplace.
HSCA President Curtis Rooney stated, "In a competitive landscape often dominated by the largest medical device manufacturers, GPOs help give small and diverse medical device companies the platform and visibility necessary to sell their products and services... the Small Supplier Portal is just one more way that GPOs are proactively finding, evaluating and delivering innovative technologies to improve patient care.”
