On average, our clients realize annual savings of more than 17% across cardiovascular and orthopedic/spine disease-states. Unlike other benchmarking tools available to hospitals and health systems, Empower™ highlights price disparities within and across vendor product lines within each individual hospital prior to benchmarking versus other hospitals in the database. This provides credibility and legitimacy with physicians and vendors within each disease-state contracting process. These result are even more impressive given this approach does not require changing physician utilization.

The relationship with SYMMEDRx has surpassed my expectations. SYMMEDRx has yielded us favorable financial results and feedback from our medical staff that has enabled Alegent Health to confidently pursue other supply chain initiatives with them. I endorse SYMMEDRx as a vendor of preference.”

Vice President, Operations
The University of Colorado Hospital

“The University of Colorado Hospital is big, complex, and delivers some of the most advanced care in the country. As such, we continue to invent and re-invent what we need to be one of the most advanced and efficient supply chains. We’ve had great success doing that in our work with SYMMEDRx. Their data analysis, reports and contracting guidance have all been invaluable, leading to about $1.8 million in savings in the first year.”

Vice President, Supply Chain
Sanford Health

In less than one year, SYMMEDRx helped save us over $3.3M on spine products and have identified $2M in total joint savings for a total of $5.3M in two engagements.  The SYMMEDRx team of professionals are highly knowledgeable, responsive, and eager to provide exceptional support.  The SYMMEDRx benchmarking tools, reporting, and ability to structure actionable contracts are top notch!  I would not move forward with a major Physician Preference Item Contacting initiative without their support.

SYMMEDRx was great to work with, from beginning to end, on our Total Joint Arthroplasty project.  The entire SYMMEDRx team was very professional, very competent in the Total Joint Arthroplasty product line, and very fun to work with, too.  This engagement was fast…we achieved the savings we were looking for in a very timely manner with no issues.  Thanks to the SYMMEDRx team for all you did to help us achieve our savings goal!
