Riverside Health System has been recognized as an inaugural winner of the 2023 Supply Chains of Distinction award, presented by leading health care supply chain leader, Global Healthcare Exchange (GHX). Industry-leading supply chains have evolved to become more automated, data-driven and resilient, giving rise to a set of best practice “perfect order” metrics that measure an organization’s supply chain performance. The Supply Chains of Distinction Award honors the top performing hospitals and health systems in North America that excelled in driving best-in-class supply chain operations in 2023.
“Riverside’s Supply Chain team is incredibly honored to be recognized by GHX as a 2023 Supply Chains of Distinction Award Winner. Recipients of this award represent the steadfast commitment of our team to continually strive for excellence,” says Gerard Crosbie, Associate Vice President for Supply Chain at Riverside Health System. “It is our belief that maintaining quality, highly efficient processes, better positions us in our efforts to support Riverside’s mission to care for others as we would care for those we love.”
Organizations are ranked based upon a set of “perfect order” metrics. “Perfect order” are metrics that track the percentage of automatic supply chain orders that ensure the right product, delivered to the right place, at the right time, in the right condition, in the right quantity, to the right person and with the correct invoice. The metrics are reviewed on a full calendar basis and the top 25 organizations in each segment — small, medium and large — will be awarded the prestigious distinction. The recipients will be recognized at the 2024 GHX Summit in Austin, TX May 13-16.
“The Supply Chains of Distinction Award honors organizations that are redefining supply chain excellence and setting the standard for healthcare supply chains of the future,” said Tina Vatanka Murphy, president, and CEO, GHX. “By embracing digital and data transformation, organizations like Riverside Health System are contributing directly to the sustainability of healthcare, making a lasting impact on the patients and families that we serve together.”
