MedAssets, Inc. recently held its eighth annual Technology and Innovation Forum in St. Louis, Mo., giving healthcare providers a venue to evaluate new products and services from innovative suppliers. The event identifies positive solutions that can quickly be brought to market through MedAssets' group purchasing organization (GPO) to help improve quality and lower costs within the U.S. healthcare system.

More than 60 suppliers and 250 healthcare provider representatives took part in the Forum, including a number of HUB-certified suppliers (historically underutilized businesses) or small companies with less than 100 employees. The Technology and Innovation Forum was a part of the MedAssets 2009 Business and Technology Forum, held annually to bring together suppliers and healthcare providers for networking, education and new product development, all focused on helping providers with quality of care and financial improvement initiatives.

CareFusion, a new MedAssets contracted supplier, attended the Forum and shares in MedAssets' dedication to fostering innovation. Also Synch-Solutions, a certified minority-owned business based in Chicago, participated in the Technology and Innovation Forum as an opportunity to grow its business with MedAssets in the area of technology and organization consulting.
