A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Kaleida Health’s $75M Transformational Success
Kaleida Health – the largest healthcare provider in western New York – recognized the critical need to develop a systemwide operating model that supports cost savings, growth and the continued delivery of outstanding patient care.
Amidst ongoing labor challenges, cost pressures and pervasive supply chain disruptions, Kaleida Health sought to improve and optimize their clinical, financial and operational performance – and they were successful.
Through a combination of supply chain transformation, clinical integration of the supply chain, leveraging Premier’s group purchasing organization (GPO), high compliance agreements, purchased services realignment, advancing clinical care delivery and more, Kaleida Health was able to boost their bottom line, improve patient care and establish efficiencies across the organization.
In just five years, Kaleida Health recognized more than $75 million in total savings while ensuring access to appropriate, high-quality products at the right time for strong clinical outcomes.
