Alliance Global Healthcare reduce costs mainly through two mechanisms: lower transaction costs and lower prices through joint negotiation.

The healthcare supply acquisition process in Malaysia is complex, involving thousands of suppliers selling many more thousands of pharmaceuticals, devices, products, and services to thousands of healthcare providers. Because prices are frequently negotiated and negotiations can be complicated, the scope for transaction costs savings from reducing the number of negotiations is large. For perspective, imagine that 1,000 vendors each sell 10 products(glove) to each of 2,000 hospitals. If each vendor bargains separately with each hospital, there are 2 million negotiations to determine as many as 20 million prices. If the Alliance Global healthcare negotiates one price for each product on behalf of its alliance members, then the number of negotiations falls from 2 million to 1,000, and the number of prices negotiated falls from 20 million to 10,000.

Many research identifies several ways by which joint purchasing can yield lower prices than buyers can obtain on their own, including increasing a buyer’s bargaining strength, increased volume and other discounts, and more intense supplier competition. Evidence indicates that providers realize cost savings of 10% to 18% by using power of group buying, relative to the costs providers would have incurred if they negotiated prices on their own. Importantly, providers are likely to  utilise some of these cost savings on to patients care.

With the advance technology and soaring costs of supplies, it's difficult for hospitals to keep up and plan appropriately. For hospitals in particular, it's especially important to have critical medication on hand to manage patient symptoms and facilitate the recovery process. However, a recent study predicted that prescription drug prices will increase by 7.61 percent next year. Rising drug prices are becoming a top concern for health care executives, making it essential to align with a GPO that can negotiate cost-effective contracts and offer necessary medications at lower expense. This will combat persistent drug shortages while also cutting costs.

 

Inventory management can take up a considerable amount of time. While  Hospital administrators and leading doctors are busy individuals, Rather than negotiating supplier contracts and painstakingly tracking inventory on your own, partner with a alliance Global healthcare will streamline these processes and improve overall efficiency of hospital.
