HealthTrust Performance Group, a group purchasing organization that serves about 1,800 hospitals and health systems, now offers customers access to a medical device data analytics database.
The platform, called SurgIntel, pulls data from its membership network of more than 1,800 hospitals and 69,000 alternate sites of care, HealthTrust said in a May 14 news release. SurgIntel is tailored to increase visibility on supply costs and device utilization.
The company's medical device management team "specializes in engaging physicians and supply chain to lower cost-per-case in the orthopedics, spine and cardiovascular service lines with the objectives of enhancing quality, lowering medical device spend and preventing long-term savings erosion in these high spend, clinically sensitive categories," the release said.
