Branded Products

For healthcare providers who are under pressure to save money without sacrificing quality, ROi offers a branded products program to help generate greater savings by providing the best products at a better price. To ensure your clinical needs are met and product quality is maintained, ROi’s GPO contracts directly with the manufacturers of name brand clinical products to produce specification-driven products that are of equal or higher quality than the name brand products previously used in healthcare facilities. We achieve cost savings for you by:

  • Contracting directly with manufacturers to assure product quality and rather than going through a third party.
  • Seeking and utilizing clinical input to design products (including standards and specifications) that meet clinicians’ and patients’ needs.

ROi offers custom sterile procedure trays, non-sterile trays and trays that contain both sterile and non-sterile products. Our production includes a mobile production line, video and visual production, Hepa filtration and FDA-regulated sterilization to ensure product quality.

As a provider designed and managed program, CPS:

  • Eliminates the practice of unauthorized substitutions
  • Addresses common issues with vendor sold programs
  • Provides a platform for standardization
  • Minimizes sales representative influence at facilities
  • Ensures appropriate use by eliminating under/over utilization

ROi’s transparent pricing model clearly shows various cost elements, so you can easily see the effect of adding/deleting components. We believe in optimizing packs, not adding needless components, so we charge an activity-based fee for component additions/deletions that is not sensitive to component cost.
