The Ottawa Hospital to Leverage Mohawk Medbuy for Expanded Sourcing Services
Mohawk Medbuy Corporation (MMC) is pleased to announce that The Ottawa Hospital (TOH) will be integrating our services for their local hospital sourcing and contract management, effective July 2024. TOH already utilizes MMC’s sourcing solutions for the medical / surgical supplies, pharmaceutical products, nutrition and capital equipment it uses to care for its patients.
This next step continues the ongoing collaboration between the two organizations – allowing TOH to maximize the value and efficiencies it derives from MMC’s large scale, advanced systems and data analytics. Like many MMC Member hospitals, TOH shares its spend data with Mohawk Medbuy for analysis and decision support.
The integration will see a number of TOH employees transition to Mohawk Medbuy as part of its Eastern Ontario team. This will ensure continuity of these vital services, which include facilitating the onboarding of existing MMC contracts and working with hospital staff and TOH’s affiliated organizations when new sourcing events are required.
“This is a positive step in our deepening relationship with The Ottawa Hospital and allows us to leverage our supply chain expertise and data analytics to support the quality care TOH delivers,” said Tony DiEmanuele, President and CEO of Mohawk Medbuy. “It’s another example of MMC helping our Members streamline their end-to-end supply chain processes.”
“As a critical component of health care, having Mohawk Medbuy as our strategic partner in supporting a resilient, sustainable supply chain lets us focus on our patients and their families,” said Cameron Love, TOH’s President and CEO. “It simplifies our sourcing operations and allow us to obtain the best value on the products and services we use.”
