Vizient® today announced three expert-led solutions designed to help health systems address performance gaps across the supply chain lifecycle: Agentic Sourcing, Procure-to-Pay (P2P) Price Assurance, and Clinically Integrated Supply Chain. The solutions will be previewed during the Vizient Connections Summit this week in Las Vegas.

Health systems face financial pressure to sustain savings on the medical supplies and devices used to deliver patient care, but negotiated value can be lost across the supply chain lifecycle. Fragmented spend that remains outside of managed workflows, negotiated savings that erode before being realized, and disconnected cost, utilization, and outcomes data can make it difficult to protect savings and inform product decisions.

“Negotiating savings is only the beginning. The greater opportunity to realize and protect that value throughout the supply chain is by identifying where it is lost and taking action to address those gaps,” said Simrit Sandhu, president, spend management, Vizient. “Our expert-led solutions help connect contracting, operational, and clinical insights to support better decisions and sustained results.”

Vizient’s Agentic Sourcing solution will help health systems identify and prioritize savings opportunities within fragmented supplier and category spend. Combining Vizient expertise with contract intelligence and benchmarking data, the solution is designed to assess potential value and actionability, guide unmanaged spend toward appropriate contract pathways and help procurement teams pursue opportunities that may otherwise be difficult to manage.

An expanded P2P—P2P Price Assurance—is designed to protect negotiated savings by connecting contract and invoice intelligence to identify, prioritize, and resolve price and contract discrepancies. This solution will help healthcare organizations uncover potential leakage, support savings recovery, and prevent future losses.

Clinically Integrated Supply Chain connects product cost, utilization, procedural and outcomes data, and contract intelligence to give supply chain, value analysis, and clinical teams a shared view of product performance and value. This solution is designed to help healthcare organizations identify cost and utilization variation and evaluate product and category decisions beyond purchase price alone.

Through Vizient Summit Connections, suppliers and providers connect to discover solutions and services that advance the delivery of high-quality, affordable healthcare.

The new products will be available early 2027.
