Managing Vendors Price Increases on Minor Enhancements

Vendors can reintroduce the same product with minor enhancements to justify 20-30% price increase.

Here’s how hospitals can stay ahead of it:

1. Put it in your contracts that similar items must be priced at the same price as before.

2. Set up a value analysis process for new entrants to stop many of these market enhancements and price increases.

3. Have a real conversation with the vendors.

They are not just suppliers but also trusted advisors to the hospital.

When I talk to them on behalf of hospitals, I try to remind them:

As an important part of the healthcare ecosystem, they should not raise their price every time they get an opportunity.
