By partnering with health care providers, MedAssets helps improve their financial strength by implementing solutions that help control cost, improve margins and cash flow, increase regulatory compliance, and optimize operational efficiency. MedAssets serves more than 125 health systems, 2,500 hospitals, and 30,000 non-acute care health care providers.

“We honor outstanding vendors like GE Healthcare for their continued dedication to improving customer savings and customer satisfaction, filing reports and submitting fee schedules in a timely manner, continuous growth in purchase volume, and supporting MedAssets’ philanthropic efforts,” said Mark Miriani, president, MedAssets Supply Chain Systems.

MedAssets selected GE Healthcare based on GE’s comprehensive contract portfolio, contract sales growth year after year, and overall responsiveness to provide value to MedAssets’ customer health care professionals. GE Healthcare also received another Platinum-level award for its Life Sciences business, a Gold-level award for its med surgical program for GE’s anesthesia delivery, and maternal infant care products, as well as the Group Buy Vendor of the Year, again for the entire Clinical Systems division.
