Confidently control med-surg and lab costs
We transform med-surg and lab complexity into measurable cost reduction through integrated analytics and sourcing leverage.
Connected decisions multiply savings
Medical-surgical and laboratory categories are too broad and too clinically important to manage through price review alone. Vizient helps leaders connect spend visibility, standardization decisions, and sourcing strategy so med-surg and lab performance improves without creating downstream clinical friction.
In practice
What stronger med-surg and lab discipline makes possible
Performance-driven sourcing delivers quality
Connecting sourcing decisions with clinical outcomes transforms compliance into measurable, enterprise-wide performance excellence.
Standardization multiplies ASC performance
Clinical alignment and data transparency reduce unnecessary variation, delivering measurable savings while strengthening quality.
Self-distribution delivers control and savings
Memorial Hermann built a 309,400-square-foot warehouse, delivering 99.8% fill rates and significant cost reduction through self-distribution.
When strategy, sourcing and clinical quality are intentionally connected, organizations are better positioned to improve measurable outcomes, strengthen patient care, and sustain performance excellence across the enterprise.
Med-surg inflation demands disciplined strategy
With supply costs rising over 3% annually, strategic sourcing, standardization, and distribution control become essential to protect margins.
Projected med-surg inflation rate
We anticipate a 3.03% increase in med-surg supply costs between July 2026 and June 2027.
