Goodroe Healthcare Solutions

Goodroe Healthcare Solutions was a specialized healthcare consulting and technology firm that focused on improving clinical and financial performance within hospital service lines, particularly cardiology and orthopedics. The company was a pioneer in gainsharing programs, which align physician incentives with hospital cost-saving and quality-improvement goals. Their proprietary software and data-driven approach allowed hospitals to track supply costs and clinical outcomes to identify efficiencies in high-cost specialty areas. By providing actionable analytics, the firm helped healthcare providers reduce variation in care and optimize supply chain management. In 2005, the company was acquired by VHA Inc. to bolster its clinical and supply chain analytics offerings, and it eventually became part of Vizient.
