Case Study: Memorial Hospital at Gulfport achieves 95% item master data accuracy with GHX NuVia

Clean Supply Data Supports Value-based Healthcare for Memorial Gulfport

Memorial Hospital at Gulfport, a not-for-profit hospital in Mississippi, struggled with a highly inaccurate and duplicative item master that led to a 60% non-catalog purchase rate, countless operational errors, and incorrect payments. To address these challenges, the hospital partnered with vendor GHX to implement its NuVia data management solution to cleanse and standardize its supply data.

GHX’s NuVia solution cleansed and standardized the hospital's data, removing duplicates and enriching it with standardized codes. This effort, managed by a dedicated internal specialist, resulted in 95% data accuracy within the item master. This dramatically increased on-catalog purchasing to 65% and freed up staff to focus on more strategic tasks, providing the data foundation necessary for value-based healthcare.
