Leading Group Purchasing Organization

Vizient is the largest member-driven healthcare performance improvement company in the United States, serving more than 60% of the nation's acute care hospitals. The company operates as a leading Group Purchasing Organization (GPO), leveraging massive scale to negotiate favorable pricing for medical supplies, pharmaceuticals, and purchased services. Beyond procurement, Vizient provides advanced data analytics, clinical benchmarking, and advisory services to help healthcare providers improve patient outcomes and operational efficiency. The organization was formed through the merger of VHA Inc. and the University HealthSystem Consortium (UHC), and has since expanded through the acquisition of MedAssets and Intalere.
