MCRA Member Forum: Procurement Strategies for Healthcare Vendors (Part 10)

MCRA Members recently participated in a collaborative forum with the topic “Procurement Strategies for Healthcare Vendors: MCRA Members Approach to Being the Best-In-Class for the Managed Care Industry”. In the video below, MCRA Members address the question of the day:

Has a pay-to-play model ever been beneficial for you to get your foot in the door with a larger healthcare organization?

  • PART 2: What steps should a vendor take to assure that it is best-in-class?

  • PART 3: What questions or inquiries from a potential strategic partner surprised you the most during the procurement process?

  • PART 4: What are some of the certifications for your company that you recommend that would make the procurement process easier?

  • PART 5: Are there any bargaining strategies that you recommend that would make a large healthcare organization more likely to contract with you?

  • PART 6: Who is the best person to speak with at a large healthcare organization to get your company noticed?

  • PART 7: What is the biggest mistake, in your opinion, that healthcare vendors make in their whiteboarding phase that needs to be corrected at a time when it may be too late?

  • PART 8: What is the best way to meet or introduce yourself or your company to a potential strategic partner?

  • PART 9: How important is it to know whether your product or service is best suited for Medicaid, Medicare, Commercial Insurance, or any other delivery model?
