In the face of inflationary increases and the social, economic,
and political pressures driving them, negotiating best value
agreements is critical to healthcare. Managing costs must be
carefully balanced against delivering quality care. In its ongoing
efforts to make this process more efficient, Amerinet, Inc., a
leading national healthcare solutions organization, is implementing
on-demand Sourcing and Contract Management solutions from Ariba,
Inc. (NASDAQ: ARBA), the world’s business commerce network, to
further automate its sourcing and contract lifecycle processes and
deliver additional savings and efficiencies to its members.
“This new partnership with Ariba is an exciting step in
continuing to build upon and enhance our existing contracting
processes,” said Dale Wright, Sr. VP Contracting, Amerinet &
President, Amerinet Choice. “Amerinet continually looks for
opportunities to provide new technologies, products and services
for the benefit of our members. Our objective is to present a
portfolio that is very competitive and supports the broad spectrum
of products and services required for high quality patient care and
service. By leveraging Ariba’s solutions, we can more effectively
negotiate agreements and ensure that terms and conditions are
delivered upon and within compliance for our members.”
