MAGNET Vendor Partners

Despite our regional focus, MAGNET achieves national account status through the volume we represent (almost 25% of the nation's health care is delivered within the MAGNET geography). This volume enables MAGNET to reach more suppliers and to obtain the best pricing for our participating facilities.

For MAGNET, factors in product selection remain:

• price,
• quality,
• reliability,
• and service

with distribution playing a key role in some cases. To help reduce maintenance and service costs, MAGNET has begun evaluating historical data when considering capital equipment contracts.

MAGNET's contract preferences are 3-5 year contracts.

What differentiates MAGNET from other GPOs across the country is our unique approach to business. MAGNET endeavors to develop a "partnership" with each of its contract vendors. In addition, MAGNET provides sound marketing support to each vendor partner, including coordinating the development of customized plans to market and promote all agreements. An annual MAGNET Vendor Partnership (MVP) meeting is held for the purpose of bringing all MAGNET marketing personnel to a common level of understanding regarding each vendor's unique assets and to build a solid foundation for mutual success.

At MAGNET, we continually strive to increase the sophistication and level of our services as part of our commitment to respond to YOU. We believe continued success will rely on our ability to remain firmly rooted in the region we serve and to respond quickly to emerging health care trends.
