SciQuest Procurement Solutions Help Hospital System Automate Procurement Processes and Improve Contract Compliance

Cary, NC - SciQuest, Inc., a leading provider of on-demand strategic procurement and supplier management solutions, recently announced that The Methodist Hospital System will deploy the company's eMarketplace offering to improve the organization's contract compliance. The Methodist Hospital System is comprised of a leading academic medical center in the Texas Medical Center and four community hospitals serving the greater Houston area.

SciQuest's eMarketplace will promote the items within Methodist's contract portfolio across its broad end-user community. With SciQuest's solution tailored to meet the needs of healthcare customers, The Methodist Hospital System can easily identify on-contract versus off-contract spending while providing users with access to unique views of the contracted goods and services available to them, based on their specific role or department. SciQuest's eMarketplace solution for Healthcare provides an easier way for organizations to manage all contracted goods and services across multiple spend categories.

"We are looking forward to establishing a system-wide procurement process that will facilitate our organization's goal of lowering the total cost of the goods and services while at the same time maintaining our high standards for patient care," said Gary Wagner, vice president, Supply Chain Management, The Methodist Hospital System.

"Given the financial challenges present in healthcare today, it is vital to control supply costs by implementing processes that ensure maximum savings," said Jason Liner, market director, Healthcare, SciQuest.
