DIRECT SOURCING

Unlock new savings with direct sourcing. Our manufacturing network lets you cut out unneeded middlemen, lowering your costs for high-quality med-surg products.

TRADITIONAL SOURCING MODELS SACRIFICE QUALITY AND DESIGN AWAY FROM THE PATIENT

In traditional sourcing models, each step between the factory and your end users builds up the costs. Rather than have many players in the value chain adding costs, put the value where it belongs. Your specifications, your brand and your control of the patient experience. 

PUT MORE CATEGORIES UNDER YOUR CONTROL

Most health system supply chain organizations are stretched thin, seeking savings in physician preference items or big-ticket supplies. Lower-preference items, like many med-surg supplies, go on auto-pilot, with a default selection from your GPO catalog or a distributor’s white-label products. Costs creep up, and product features don’t always serve your needs exactly.

ASP Global helps you maximize the value of your spend in every category. Our value-analysis experts find price improvement opportunities for you, and our design and manufacturing teams ensure that products meet your needs.

CUSTOM PRODUCTS

Customize products to meet your branding needs or clinician and patient preference. Appy your logo and colors, or custom-build a product to your exact specifications.

Customizing and expanding your hospital products lead to an overall better experience for patients. ASP Global provides next-level opportunities through our direct sourcing program that includes customized, branded products for your individual health system. While things like patient preference items can often be overlooked products, they can have a meaningful and direct impact on the patient experience. Customizing these products could be just what your hospital needs to improve patients’ quality of life and boost the ratings of your facilities.

PATIENT PREFERENCE ITEMS

Choose the patient care products that comfort and engage your patients, improving their experience during and after their care.

Patient preference items are the products that your patients use and touch during their stay or post-discharge. When health systems choose high-quality, thoughtfully-designed products, they demonstrate care and consideration for each patient.
