From the lobby is our weekly survey question! Please participate!
Last week we surveyed readers the following question:
What is the single most frustrating aspect of your interaction with contracting entities such as GPOs, IDNs and RPCs?
Survey Says!
39% Driving performance/compliance
31% Constant leverage from GPO/IDN/RPC
15% GPO/IDN/RPC says one thing and does another
8% Maintaining pricing integrity/parity
7% Arduous terms and conditions
Pretty interesting results to say the least. All the angst I sensed around T&Cs made me think that would rank higher. I also thought pricing was a bigger issue as I always hear “The GPO demands the best price and then the IDN wants it even lower, locally.”
I was certainly glad to see only 15% of respondents felt the contracting agents said one thing and acted differently!
This weeks survey asks about risked based contracting!
