For small, stand-alone hospitals, remaining profitable while providing the best patient care can be challenging. TPC provides a platform for strategic partnerships that can help these independent entities reduce costs and improve patient outcomes. Working collaboratively, TPC Member hospitals achieve more together, collectively negotiating for services and supplies to increase their financial, operational and clinical performance.

TPC programs deliver opportunities through Member-driven custom contracting, providing access to clinically acceptable products purchased in aggregate to decrease costs. As part of the process, from contract period to contract period, TPC evaluates marketplace opportunities in existing categories, using specific, predetermined criteria to ascertain the most superior products at the best value. By remaining supplier agnostic, TPC Members have the flexibility to comfortably disrupt the status quo and shift between suppliers to drive the highest value back to the membership.

When it comes to PPI, the TPC collaborative model has proven results in reducing supply chain expenses. A highly Member-engaged initiative that has yielded impressive results, TPC’s Interventional Cardiology (IC) program drove $1.2 million in savings across the membership in 2018, representing 11% of total IC spend. And since the IC initiative’s 2010 inception, over $9.98 million has been saved by TPC Members. TPC continues to meet its commitment with the category’s preferred suppliers, with Members maintaining greater than 80% compliance. TPC is the epitome of a value-based partnership of community-based hospitals working together as a single system.

Stronger Together. Superior Results.

Why ECG device makers may stop rebuilding arrhythmia analysis from scratch

Why ECG device makers may stop rebuilding arrhythmia analysis from scratch

Monebo's Kinetic Software Library provides ectopic beat detection, QRS feature extraction, and heart rate and rhythm analysis for ECG devices. For ECG device engineering and regulatory teams, rhythm analysis could become a choice between building it and licensing it.

  • 01Fifty-one later FDA clearances trace their predicate lineage to Monebo's earlier libraries, a track record anyone evaluating the new one can check.

AI Takes Center Stage at AHA 2026. Experts Warn It Must Be Built for Everyone

AI Takes Center Stage at AHA 2026. Experts Warn It Must Be Built for Everyone

AI-enabled ECG, echocardiography and imaging studies are a major theme at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2026 in Chicago, November 6 to 9. A Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine policy brief led by Emory cardiologist Dr. Jose R. Medina-Inojosa argues precision cardiology must be designed with equity from inception. He says the biggest factor is not algorithm accuracy but the pathway from result to clinical action.

  • 01AHA 2026 late-breakers on AI include WATCH-LV, AI ECHO INSIGHT, PROVAR+ and LIFE-AI, all presented Monday, November 9.
  • 02Medina-Inojosa says equity from inception means training and validating on representative data and reporting subgroup performance before deployment.
  • 03Programs in Nigeria and Uganda show AI-ECG and AI-guided echo can extend cardiac care where specialists are scarce.

Medicus report projects 24% more surgery center cases and 2027 anesthesiology, GI shortages

Medicus report projects 24% more surgery center cases and 2027 anesthesiology, GI shortages

Ambulatory surgery center volumes are projected to rise 24% over the next decade, with anesthesiology and gastroenterology shortages projected for 2027. That puts potential staffing constraints early in the growth period, so operators planning coverage may find the nearer 2027 date sets the pace.

  • 01A 24% ten-year forecast and a 9% forecast for 2023 to 2028 measure different windows; check the time frame and start year before putting either in a budget.
  • 02With about nine in ten ASCs at least partly physician-owned, a staffing gap could hit physician owners directly as clinicians and investors.
