Integrated Consulting Solutions
At ROi, we believe our provider-based heritage is key to understanding customer needs; we believe integration is a better model for the future; and, together with our partners - both providers and suppliers, we strive for greater efficiency.
Over the last decade, ROi has built a supply chain model that integrates functions traditionally performed by commercial distributors, group purchasing organizations (GPOs), manufacturers and consultants. Our in-house Consulting services provide pragmatic solutions based on real experience and real application. The ROi Consulting team has extensive clinical and operational expertise with both industry and health care provider experience.
What makes us different? Our consultants are operators. When we partner with other providers, our co-workers leave their respective jobs and focus on the needs of our partners, applying best practice methodologies and models. Together with the providers who engage us in consulting, we learn from each other. We believe this benefit is shared by all - raising our industry as a whole.
