Becoming a TPC Member Brings Meaningful Cost Reductions for Healthcare Organizations

When Hendrick Health System joined TPC in 2011, the organization saw a significant reverse in a years-long trend of rising supply costs. In 2005, supply expense as a percentage of net revenue at Hendrick was at 23%; by 2014, that number had dropped to 18.9%. “That, to me, is a very telling story about the amount of value that TPC has added,” explains Jeremy Walker, Chief Financial Officer of Hendrick Health System. “Overall, the TPC solution has saved our {combined} organizations over $180 million since 2010,” Walker says.
