Independent hospitals have long been integral to the fabric of their communities. Through TPC, these hospitals collaborate to enhance their impact — ensuring high-quality, cost-effective healthcare remains accessible to all. This year, TPC proudly celebrates 40 years.

Congratulations to all TPC Members for receiving recognition for participation in Vizient's 2023 Impact Standardization programs — created to help hospitals improve how they procure commonly purchased goods, reduce product variation, and achieve cost savings.

TPC delivered exceptional value to its Members in 2023, achieving over $70 million in total value. Despite ongoing industry challenges, focused strategies and collaborative efforts across supply chain, revenue cycle, purchased services, and quality improvement led to this milestone.

More than 46 million U.S. residents live in rural areas — and many of those communities depend on independent hospitals as their only nearby source of care. Thoughtful strategic partnership is a powerful alternative to acquisition pressure.

Hill Country Memorial joined TPC in December 2019. Within the first year, HCM leveraged the TPC platform to reduce supply chain costs by over $550K — with additional savings projected as they deepen participation across sourcing and purchased services.

Despite the extraordinary challenges of 2020 — a global pandemic, supply chain disruptions, and deep financial strain on hospitals — TPC Members achieved meaningful results through committed leadership and unwavering collaboration.

Through its Revenue Cycle Council — representatives from 11 health systems meeting monthly to share data, best practices, and strategy — TPC has driven over $30 million in revenue cycle improvement since inception, including $11 million in 2019 alone.

TPC closes out a strong 2019 driven by member-led councils, committees, and value analysis teams — a coalition model where every program is member-led and member-driven, with Member representatives serving as chairpersons for every working group.
