Prestigious Gartner Top 25 Recognizes Health Care Supply Chain Leadership
CINCINNATI, Ohio (Nov. 21, 2024) — Gartner, Inc. has released their 2024 Supply Chain top companies ranking and Bon Secours Mercy Health, whose supply chain function is provided by Advantus Health Partners, has been ranked #3 among leading health care organizations for their supply chain leadership. This is the highest ranking the health system and Advantus have achieved since 2021.
The ranking is derived from two main analyses: quantitative measures and opinion components. Quantitative measures provide a view into how health care organizations have performed in the past and establish proxy connections between financial health, quality of patient care, Environmental Social and Governance (ESG), risk management and supply chain excellence. The opinion components offer a qualitative assessment of value chain leadership and demonstrated supply chain performance. The qualitative and quantitative components are combined into a total composite score.
“It is an incredible accomplishment to advance to a #3 ranking in the Gartner Healthcare Supply Chain Top 25 for 2024,” said Dan Hurry, president of Advantus Health Partners. “When I saw the ranking I thought about how hard our team works every day to bring value and innovative solutions to the health care supply chain. I’m proud that our team’s hard work and focus on continuous improvement has been recognized by Gartner. This is huge milestone for Advantus.”
The top three themes for this 16th annual ranking by Gartner include: Resurgence of Clinical Alignment, Improving Span of Control and Accelerating the Digital Supply Chain. In these three areas, Gartner is looking at leading health systems that demonstrate a renewed commitment to enhance service delivery in clinical areas; a supply chain that is involved in 72% of a health system’s spending; and systems that significantly increase their adoption of digital solutions, automation tools and analytics solutions that enhance their supply chain operations.
“The fact that we can earn a #3 ranking where themes such as clinical alignment, span of control and significantly increasing digital solutions prevail — this demonstrates that we have an industry-leading vision at Advantus. We are on a mission to make supply chain easier and drive measurable value across the industry,” said Hurry.
