While much attention is given to clinical and direct spend, IDNs have become increasingly focused on optimizing indirect spend categories—ranging from IT and HR services to logistics and facilities management. For suppliers, this shift opens new opportunities and new expectations, particularly as purchased services become more centralized and strategically managed by GPOs. Hear from GPO and RPC representatives as they share recent noteworthy innovations in indirect spend on the radar of IDNs across the country.

Learning Objectives:
1. Explain how IDNs have redefined value in indirect spend categories, including purchased services.
2. Evaluate supplier roles and opportunities within strategic indirect spend initiatives across GPO and RPC partners.
3. Identify common obstacles suppliers face in aligning with IDN expectations for service-based contracts.
4. Develop strategies for enhancing competitiveness and relevance in indirect spend procurement models.
