Alignment among trading partners’ processes and data leads to pricing accuracy At the 7th annual Contract Administration Conference, the Health Industry Distributors Association (HIDA) convened healthcare contract leaders to advance adoption of industry-wide best practices. More than 80 professionals from distributors, manufacturers, GPOs, and healthcare provider organizations gathered to share ways to increase accuracy, lower costs, and reduce rework in administering pricing contracts for medical products. At the event, HIDA’s Contract Administration Steering Committee agreed to further explore ways to improve contract administration through three new workgroups focusing on GPO rosters and eligibility, contract creation, and the credit/rebill process. These experts help the industry improve the complex field of healthcare contract administration by creating and encouraging adoption of recommendations and standards. Highlights of some of their collaboratively-created resources are below. To access these and other resources, visit HIDA’s Pricing Accuracy webpage. The Contract Administration Conference resulted from the work of HIDA’s Healthcare Supply Chain Collaborative. The Collaborative addresses end-to-end supply chain challenges including supply chain resilience, pricing accuracy, and product information management, and works to advance best practices for processes and data. Learn more about the 2023 Contract Administration Conference and its sister event, the Supply Chain Visibility Conference. For more information about the Collaborative, contact Manpreet Kaur Sandhu.
