SUMMARY:Conference call: Impact of Group Purchasing Organizations on Healthcare-Product Supply Chains
DESCRIPTION:A media conference call will give reporters a chance to hear from the co-author of a new study of group purchasing organizations. A press release from the Health Industry Group Purchasing Association\, a trade group\, says the study "concludes that GPOs deliver cost savings to hospitals and the health care supply chain – particularly to small providers – and that GPO contract administrative fees do not have an impact on the prices paid by hospitals for medical goods and services."   \nThe call will feature study co-author and Purdue University Professor Leroy Schwarz\, Amerinet\, Inc. President and HIGPA Board Chair Todd Ebert\, and HIGPA President Curtis Rooney.    \nThe study\, "The Impact of Group Purchasing Organizations on Healthcare-Product Supply Chains\," was conducted by Professor Schwarz and Professor Joice Hu\, also of Purdue University\, and used economic game-theory to analyze the value of group purchasing organizations to the health care supply chain.  \nWhen: \nMay 31\, 2011\, 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM EDT \n  \nConference Line Information: \n1-866-773-8416\, Access Code: 700605# \n  \nWho: \n\n\nCurtis Rooney\, (Moderator)\, President\, Health Industry Group Purchasing Association (HIGPA) \n\n\nDr. Leroy Schwarz\, Professor of Management\, Purdue University \n\n\nTodd Ebert\, President & CEO\, Amerinet\, Inc.  and Chairman of HIGPA Board of Directors  \n\n\n  The study will be available publicly on May 31st.
