I would like you to look around your healthcare organization and ask yourself who is in charge of your purchase services. I can assure you, if you are honest with yourself, the answer is – nobody!

We have seen department heads sign multi-year purchase service contracts that have cost their healthcare organization hundreds of thousands of dollars a year due to benign neglect.
