MARCH 26, 2024 – Jackson Health System has been recognized by healthcare supply chain leader Global Healthcare Exchange (GHX) as a recipient of the inaugural 2023 Supply Chains of Distinction Award. Industry-leading supply chains have evolved to become more automated, data-driven and resilient, giving rise to a set of best practice “perfect order” metrics that measure an organization’s supply chain performance. The Supply Chains of Distinction Award honors the top performing hospitals and health systems in North America that excelled in driving best-in-class supply chain operations in 2023.
“We are excited to see our team’s efforts with this extraordinary recognition,” said Rosa Costanzo, chief supply chain and procurement officer at Jackson Health System. “The award demonstrates our ongoing commitment to value-driven healthcare. Together, we strive for ongoing excellence in our strategic sourcing and supply chain actions.”
The award is based upon a set of “perfect order” metrics, rated as a percentage of PO lines sent across the GHX Exchange (integrated) that are touchless and completely automated, from purchase through payment. The line must satisfy all the requirements below to be rated as “perfect”:
- PO Line has a corresponding POA Line
- PO Line has a corresponding INV Line
- PO Line without Item Number Exception
- PO Line without Unit of Measure Exception
- PO Line without Unit Price Exception
- PO Line without a Rejection Exception
- PO Line without a Quantity Exception
“The Supply Chains of Distinction Award honors organizations that are redefining supply chain excellence and setting the standard for healthcare supply chains of the future,” said Tina Vatanka Murphy, president and CEO, GHX. “By embracing digital and data transformation, organizations like Jackson Health System are contributing directly to the sustainability of healthcare, making a lasting impact on the patients and families that we serve together.”
This year’s recipients will be honored at the 2024 GHX Summit taking place May 13-16, 2024 in Austin, TX. The full list of 2023 winners can be found here: https://www.ghx.com/awards/supply-chains-of-distinction/
