What’s inside:
IDENTI Medical works across the globe and collaborates with some amazing companies.
Promedeo is our French partner, and they recently made an important announcement relating to bringing IDENTI’s cutting-edge healthcare solutions to more hospitals and healthcare providers in the French market.
Promedeo works with UniHA, a French purchasing group made up of healthcare providers.
Read on to find out more about the announcement!
Our French partner, Promedeo, recently announced that they won several four-year tenders with the Union des Hôpitaux pour les Achats (UniHA), a co-operative of French public hospital buyers, that works in close collaboration with suppliers.
Background on UniHA
UniHA was created by the hospitals themselves – 32 university hospitals and 20 hospitals.
The aim of the organization is to pool together healthcare purchasing, expertise and skills for enhanced healthcare supply chain management.
The combined power of healthcare organizations coming together to create a supply chain partnership can:
- Improve medical supply cost savings
- Reduce time taken to organize procurement
- Save staff resources
- Improve quality
Providers are increasingly looking for ways to reduce procurement costs, and joining a co-operative purchasing group has been a successful model across the globe. The initiative is gaining popularity and this can only improve the strength and buying power of the individual healthcare organization members.
In 2023 the UniHA cooperative included 1,359 establishments and 123 regional hospital groups, known locally as Groupement Hospitalier de Territoire (GHTs), It has now become one of Europe’s leading healthcare buyers and is one of the leading national buyers across all industries.
UniHA is convinced that purchasing is one of the strategic levers that supports hospital efficiency and the delivery of high-quality care.
Medical supply procurement has the power to impact hospital margins when it’s done right.
Promedeo provides innovative logistics solutions for French healthcare providers and works with local healthcare organizations to improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of their inventory management.
Promedeo partners with IDENTI Medical to ensure French providers have access to breakthrough technology that solves common supply chain challenges.
