Group purchasing organizations save the U.S. healthcare system up to $34 billion annually and will reduce healthcare spending by nearly half a trillion dollars over the next 10 years, according to a report released last week by the Healthcare Supply Chain Association.

GPOs reduce supply-related purchasing costs to hospitals and nursing homes by 13.1 percent compared to providers who do not use GPO services, the authors said. In addition, GPOs generate billions in Medicare and Medicaid savings.

The analysis is based on national expenditure data along with survey responses from healthcare providers that use GPO services and represent a total business volume of $59.7 billion.
