This volume analyzes group purchasing organizations (GPOs) and pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) in order to better understand the significant roles that these entities play in the healthcare supply chain. It examines who they contract with, on what terms, and who they represent and answer to while charting their historical development. The analysis reveals that the current roles of both players have historical roots that explain why they behave the way they do. Finally, the book reviews the evidence base on the performance results of these two players. This work fills a void in our understanding about two important and controversial players in the healthcare value chain. Both organizations are cloaked in secrecy — partly by virtue of the private sector contracts they negotiate, partly by virtue of the lack of academic attention. Both play potentially important roles in controlling healthcare costs, albeit using contracting strategies and reimbursement mechanisms that arouse suspicion among stakeholders. This timely text explicates how these organizations arose and evolved to shed more light on how they really operate.
Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs) are a massive subset of the healthcare industry that negotiate lower costs for healthcare supplies by buying for several hospitals at once. Group Purchasing Organizations provides an analysis and critique of this industry.
This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. Health care providers rely on group purchasing org. (GPOs) to negotiate contracts with vendors of medical products. In 2002, questions were raised about GPOs engaging in anti-competitive bus. practices such as collecting excessively high contract admin. fees. In 2003, it was reported that selected GPOs had adopted or revised codes of conduct to respond to questions about their bus. practices, but that it was too soon to evaluate the impact of the codes of conduct. This report describes: (1) the types of services that GPOs provide and how the GPOs fund these services; (2) initiatives that GPOs have implemented since 2002 to address the questions that had been raised about their bus. practices; and (3) the impact of the GPOs' codes of conduct and other initiatives.
