Beyond Cost Reduction
GPOs are no longer sufficient.
In the span of over 115 years, the business model for GPOs has remained virtually unchanged. Despite the rapid evolution of industries around it, the GPO sector is widely recognized as one of the few that has resisted meaningful modernization. The traditional GPO cooperative purchasing model, once effective, has become outdated and insufficient to meet the demands of today’s healthcare landscape.
Relying solely on the GPO cooperative purchasing model is no longer enough. The needs of healthcare organizations have shifted dramatically, requiring more dynamic, flexible, and innovative sourcing solutions. Increasing pressures to control costs, generate revenue, and enhance supplier relationships have revealed significant flaws in the traditional GPO model, which struggles to adapt.
The GSO is leading the way forward.
Flexibility
Unlike GPOs that mandate hospitals follow standardized contracts and product offerings, the GSO provides the versatility for customized pricing and product selection.
Pricing transparency
While GPO pricing structures can be complicated, with supplier fees often lacking clarity for hospitals, the GSO offers a clear and straightforward contribution model.
Savings are no longer limited
The GPOs range of covered products and services is limited, while the GSO offers a far more expansive selection. Bulk buying is outdated and its inefficiency is evident when comparing the profit margins of hospitals to those of the GPOs and their vendors.

Success Stories
What Our Partners Are Saying
"I look forward to working with the GSO as it manages to navigate the internal challenges of hospital sourcing groups and individuals whom historically have not embraced change. Hospitals cannot afford to miss an opportunity to implement something so successful and that comes with no risk."
"The GPO model has not changed in a 100 years and, like most hospitals, we see GPO pricing (where it exists) as the ceiling. So affiliated negotiated prices are now our floor."
“Participation in the first ever Group Savings Organization (GSO) is recognized as an incredible opportunity for us at Mercy. Our experiences with VPS over the better part of a decade has resulted in substantial savings and recovery of our technology spend. Now, as one of the charter members of the GSO, we can continue to reduce our costs while also increasing our non-patient revenue.”
“The GSO is the logical next step for hospitals faced with rising costs and lower margins, I am surprised it has taken this long for an organization to be created to support and change the GPO model. There is not a hospital in the country that does not need to look for innovative ways to reduce costs and generate additional non patient revenue.”
