LOUISVILLE, Colo., March 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Global Healthcare Exchange (GHX) today announced the recipients of its 2025 Supply Chains of Distinction Award, recognizing hospitals and health systems across North America that achieved top-tier supply chain performance during the 2025 calendar year.

The Supply Chains of Distinction Award honors GHX-Exchange connected provider organizations that demonstrate best-in-class execution of “Perfect Order” metrics, a comprehensive measure of supply chain performance spanning order accuracy, automation, invoice precision and payment efficiency.

The recognized organizations are not only optimizing transactions but also building more resilient, intelligent supply chains that are aimed at strengthening the operational backbone of organizations delivering high-quality patient care. This year’s winners will be honored at GHX Summit 2026, taking place May 11-14 at the Hyatt Regency New Orleans.

“At a time when healthcare faces increasing cost pressure, workforce constraints and ongoing supply chain fragility, these organizations are proving that operational excellence is both possible and essential,” said Tina Vatanka Murphy, President and CEO of GHX. “By embracing automation, trusted data and AI-enabled insights, they are setting a new standard for supply chain leadership, strengthening resiliency, advancing financial sustainability and helping support efforts to enable better patient care at a lower cost. In doing so, they are helping shape a healthcare system that is more agile, more transparent and better prepared for the challenges ahead.”

Raising the Bar for Supply Chain Excellence

The 2025 recipients represent the top 25 performers by transaction volume across three organizational segments: Small, Medium and Large. Segment placement reflects GHX Exchange transaction volume rather than hospital size or bed count, enabling more comparable performance benchmarking across providers. GHX also recognizes the top five performers among Canadian provider organizations, whose results in Perfect Order metrics reflect strong operational execution within Canada’s healthcare system. These organizations are honored as Supply Chains of Distinction recipients without segmentation by transaction volume.

Each organization achieved leading Perfect Order performance, reflecting disciplined process execution and a strong commitment to digital adoption.

Perfect Order performance measures how effectively an organization automates and optimizes processes from purchase order through invoice and payment. GHX customers have near real-time visibility into this performance through the Supply Chain Analytics dashboard within the GHX platform, enabling continuous improvement and more data-driven decision-making.
