Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c35498) has announced the addition of The Directory of Health Care Group Purchasing Organizations 2006 Edition to their
offering.
This comprehensive directory profiles over 800 Purchasing Organizations that negotiate more than 65% of all health care products purchased by hospitals and related facilities, and the
institutions they represent. Listings include not only Group Purchasing Organizations, but also other types of Organizations that make volume health care purchases including:
Multi-Hospital and Multi-Nursing Home Corporations; Alliances; Provider Management Companies; Physicians Offices; and Integrated Delivery Networks.
Recent years have brought tremendous changes to the business side of health care, including consolidations of health care organizations, as well as many closing their doors. As a result,
the universe of health care group purchasing organizations is smaller than in years past, but the lists of Member Institutions, for which each GPO manages purchasing, have grown. This
2006 edition, with over 800 Group Purchasing Organizations and 16,000 Member Institutions, reflects this change in the industry. Each and every listing in this directory has been verified
by our editorial department.
Detailed profiles are arranged alphabetically by organization name offering the most up-to-date data and contacts, including mailing address, phone and fax numbers, e-mail addresses and
web sites, key organization executives and key purchasing agents along with products negotiated, expanded services, vendor requirements, membership fees, group affiliations, and alternate
sites.
Listed as part of each organization profile are its member institutions - a total of over 16,000 individual institutions whose health care purchases are managed by the listed
organization. They are arranged by state, and include city, contact name and phone number. Many also include a full mailing address.
To ensure easy access to all listings in The Directory of Health Care Group Purchasing Organizations, it includes five indexes: Expanded Services Index, Geographic Index, a brand new Key
Personnel Index, Member Institutions Index and Organization Type Index.
To broaden availability of data, The Directory of Health Care Group Purchasing Organizations is also available in an Online Database. This interactive Online Database offers powerful
search capabilities that takes only seconds to access detailed information about over 800 Group Purchasing Organizations, over 2,800 key contacts and the 16,000+ Member Hospitals and
