Healthcare

Contain costs, improve margins, and boost productivity with control and visibility over 100% of your spend.

As value-based care payment models become the norm, organizations need the right tools to control costs, manage margins and improve their financial health.

Procurement teams are the unsung heroes of healthcare organizations, managing costs, clinician needs, and a vast array of suppliers.

In an industry increasingly shifting to capitated payments, administrators and finance departments need tools to improve their organizations’ financial health amidst shrinking reimbursements and razor-thin margins.

How Upstate Services Group turned chaos into clarity

When Melvin Szwerin, the Head of Purchasing at USG, joined the company, he immediately recognized opportunities to improve the procurement of essential patient supplies and services. “There was no procurement department,” Melvin recalls. “Procurement was ad-hoc, which led to inefficiencies and a lack of visibility across our organization’s many facilities.” Without the tools to manage and oversee procurement, it was challenging to control purchasing and spending, especially in an environment of capitated, value-based care payment models and razor-thin profit margins.

Unimarket's Spend Management solutions have revolutionized the way Upstate Service Group operates. By streamlining workflows, ensuring optimal purchasing decisions, and providing automated approvals, Unimarket has brought about a new level of efficiency and control. This has helped the organization maintain budget discipline and curb unpredictable spending, while also freeing up staff to focus more on patient care. The user-friendly interface and seamless integration of Unimarket's platform have further enhanced the financial health of the organization, making the results truly transformative.

"We can now track our spending in real-time and identify any issues before they become problems."
