Many hospital leaders want to maximize supply chain efficiency while minimizing costs, but they lack the internal resources, staff depth, or expertise to get there on their own. For these hospitals, outsourcing the entire materials management function to CHC Supply Trust is a strategic decision that delivers better outcomes than most in-house teams can achieve alone.
In this model, CHC Supply Trust takes on the full scope of supply chain operations: contract optimization, GPO compliance monitoring, day-to-day procurement oversight, vendor relationship management, and spend analytics.
Is Outsourcing Right for My Hospital?
Materials management outsourcing is the right fit when:
- Your materials management director position is vacant or newly filled and needs senior support
- Your current team is stretched thin across competing priorities
- Your hospital is in financial turnaround, and every operational cost is under scrutiny
- You want the full benefit of CHC Supply Trust, including GPO access, analytics, and compliance oversight, without building the internal infrastructure to manage it
- Your leadership team wants supply chain expertise at the table without adding a permanent senior hire
What CHC Supply Trust Provides
When you outsource to CHC Supply Trust, our team manages:
- GPO contract compliance monitoring and exception reporting
- Purchase order review and non-contracted spend identification
- Vendor relationship management and performance accountability
- On-site materials management staffing, where applicable
- Monthly spend analytics and compliance reporting through Valify
- Coordination of the Purchased Services program, extending savings to food service, laundry, environmental services, and capital
Your leadership stays informed and in control. Our team handles the execution.
What would it mean for your organization if an expert team managed your entire supply chain, and you only had to review the savings?
