The TPC Difference – Providing a One-of-a-Kind Coalition Experience

TPC provides its Members a pathway to unprecedented value and performance through a Member-centric model that pursues system-level benefits.

Our mission to leverage strategies that optimize operation, financial and clinical performance has achieved more than $300 million in savings for our Member hospitals since 2009.

But how, exactly, does TPC set itself apart from other coalitions?

The first TPC differentiator is the very structure of the organization, itself. TPC combines a group purchasing organization with consultancy, surpassing the scope of other partnerships.

As Roger Nolan, TPC President and CEO, stated in a recent article in The Journal of Healthcare Contracting, TPC is not just a regional purchasing coalition – it’s a performance improvement coalition.

“TPC has created a disciplined environment, which has allowed our relationship with our members to go beyond traditional purchasing activities,” Nolan said. “Our model goes beyond the basics of commodities, and we’ve found a niche in successfully navigating more difficult categories, like physician preference items. We have partnered with our members in areas that are typically addressed at the local level, and we have collectively realized significant wins in tough categories that other coalition groups may not consider

“Our demonstrated success in the more traditional supply chain arena has led to an expanded focus, which today includes revenue cycle, purchased services, insurance services and performance improvement.”
