Latest offering enables supply chain leaders to fast-track their sourcing roadmap with integrated monitoring, analytics and reporting tools in one solution.
January 15, 2019 – Walnut Creek, CA — — Medpricer, one of the nation’s leading technology-based solutions to optimize healthcare provider savings across purchased services contracts,, today announced its latest module for healthcare supply chains, mSource® Pipeline Performance Management. The comprehensive analytics and sourcing platform now enables supply chains to monitor progress of sourcing projects, assess team performances, create efficiencies among stakeholders and track savings against goals to optimize productivity.
“Many supply chain teams that negotiate purchased services contracts in-house are understaffed or over-extended without the proper resources,” said Medpricer CEO Chris Gormley. “We rolled out mSource® Pipeline Performance Management to save our customers time, while simplifying how they track and report complex sourcing data to best evaluate their purchased services contracts.”
As healthcare operating expenses continue to rise, there is a growing need for improved management to keep costs low without jeopardizing productivity. This becomes more complex as organizations juggle endless stakeholder requests with long-term improvement strategies. Medpricer developed mSource® Pipeline Performance Management to help supply chains reach aggressive savings targets without over-tapping time and personnel resources
As the only dedicated purchased services solution that encompasses project intake and performance analytics, mSource® Pipeline Performance Management features mechanisms to easily manage and evaluate sourcing projects all in one place. These features include:
Simplified and Improved Performance Management
The mSource® Pipeline Performance Management dashboard reports performance indicators, which give supply chains important insights into critical business metrics, such as progress towards savings goals, major contract milestones and status updates on open sourcing initiatives.
Centralized Project Intake

It’s a testament to how quickly our team creates solutions, centered around user experience, to the everyday challenges our customers face,” said Mickey Meehan, Medpricer’s Chief Customer Officer. “Our team traveled the country to interview healthcare providers to better understand the industry’s broader purchasing needs. Supply chains from integrated delivery networks, university health systems and regional hospitals alike expressed their need for project intake and prioritization tied to performance reporting. Today, Medpricer is the only purchased services spend management solution that fills that gap.”
