Vetted Domestic PPE Manufacturers
Supply chain teams across the U.S. continue to face supply shortages. One of the lessons learned during COVID-19 was the need to diversify and shorten the end-to-end supply chain.
To help hospitals and health care systems find reputable alternative sources, AHRMM is collaborating with GHX to vet U.S.-based personal protective equipment (PPE) manufacturers using the same tools, expertise and processes leveraged by its Vendormate solutions. The Vendormate process has been in place for more than 15 years and is a trusted source of information to credential new vendors. We will continue to identify and vet U.S. PPE manufacturers in an effort to create a comprehensive repository for the health care field.
