Although laboratory functions represent just 3%–5% of all hospital spend, lab results are critical to providing timely, high-quality care. To help our members achieve best practice status in supply chain management for diagnostically acceptable, preferential products and process efficiency, Acurity combines clinical expertise with value analysis, pricing evaluation, normalization, and product standardization.

Our vast portfolio of laboratory products includes equipment, reagents, consumables, supplies, and services from the majority of the suppliers that cover approximately 80%–90% of the market segment. In fact, we provide substantial savings in the top four major spend areas (outside of blood donor services) in chemistry, immunochemistry, reference laboratory testing, and distribution.

Laboratory Task Force

Membership feedback is critical to shaping the direction of our regional contracting decisions. Acurity’s Laboratory experts weigh the concerns and recommendations of members when negotiating regional contracts and share member insights on a national level with Premier in order to protect every member’s regional interests.
