Healthcare facilities savings approaches are by some considered mere myths. We have constructed a myth versus reality table below. By examining the table below our hope is that this will provide insights for a more clear understanding. True healthcare spend reduction is there but making the right choices that do not affect the quality of services rendered to your patients and staff is a necessity.
After reading the table below, please consider contacting our hospital consulting firm. We welcome your feedback and are eager to be of assistance in helping guide your healthcare operation on the path toward well planned cost reductions.
| Myth | Reality |

| My service contract cannot be renegotiated during the term of the contract | Soriant regularly negotiates service contracts & saves $600K to over $1 MM, while implementing processes to enhance vendor performances related to patient satisfaction & quality |
| The vendor’s fees are only for admin and support fees | Vendors make money from purchasing, benefits, third party service contracts. Soriant is able to determine the total vendor income down to a few hundred dollars |
