Why settle?
In our work, we see hospital supply chains suffering from long, protracted contracting cycles, a lack of time, and unknown areas of opportunity for improvement. Each trade-off comes with a high cost of doing business.

Coming out of the basement.
As new payment models align physicians, hospitals, and payers in new ways, supply chain is coming out of the basement to lead. Information strategy must keep up – to identify and prioritize opportunities, to build consensus, to track implementations, and to speed up slow, manual processes. Curvo equips supply chains with technologies to reduce clinical supply spend with speed, ease, and agility.

A modern supply chain.
Curvo combines proprietary technology, data assets, workflows, and a connected vendor community to shorten contracting cycles, engage clinicians, and manage spend more effectively. Curvo customers get to more savings projects faster through our strategic sourcing and spend SaaS. We couple domain knowledge with agile development and customer success practices to delight customers with quick ROI and a steady stream of powerful new features and functions.

If a hospital system doesn’t have clean data, it doesn’t have an effective data strategy. Your spend analytics are only as good as the underlying data, which is why data classification is so important. Without a good classification system, it can be next to impossible to compare medical devices, pricing, contracts and utilization. 

Data classification should be part of your sourcing practices. Read this article to better understand data classification and enrichment in clinical spend management – 6 Things to Know About GIC Data Classification in Clinical Spending

The article also mentions poor governance and data management as chronic supply chain obstacles. We help healthcare supply chains tackle these problems through data enrichment and analytics.
