As a member of Valley Health Care Network (VHCN), you may be able to benefit from an opportunity for cost savings through Broadlane.

Valley Baptist Health System has negotiated an arrangement with Broadlane, provider of innovative business services to the healthcare industry, to take advantage of reduced purchasing costs. Broadlane's significant buying power has resulted in a portfolio of negotiated agreements with nationally recognized vendors offering competitive prices for a wide variety of high-quality healthcare-related products and services. Through the hospital’s relationship with Broadlane, VHCN is able to make this opportunity for savings available to our physicians as well.

Broadlane is available to your practice at no cost for participation.  The average practice saves approximately 20-25% on total supply costs - items that typically drive 10 to 20 percent of total practice costs. The Broadlane portfolio covers most of the typical practice’s supply and equipment needs. Almost 18,000 practices representing over 52,000 office-based physicians are currently realizing these savings.

Products and services available to you through Broadlane are:

• medical and surgical supplies
• office supplies
• radiology supplies
• laboratory supplies
• pharmaceuticals that are typically dispensed in physician offices
• minor medical equipment and office furniture

If you or your practice would like to explore this opportunity further, Broadlane will look at your current medical, surgical, pharmaceutical and office supply purchases and make a projection of possible cost savings for you. You can then decide if you would like to participate in this opportunity.
