P

hysician reimbursement constraints, rising practice costs and diminishing returns are taking a greater toll on physician practices. While many practice cost factors are difficult to address, the procurement of supplies and

equipment is one area in which physician practices have the ability to reduce costs but often miss the opportunity for potential savings. Supplies and equipment can make up as much as 20 percent of physician practice operating costs, yet savings in these categories are difficult to achieve through traditional practice management and small-scale procurement methods. In order to reach the next level of financial performance, physician practices must find new ways to cut costs through better procurement management.
