Vizient Inc. announced its Procure-to-Pay Solutions have achieved ISO 9001 (Quality Management System) certification for healthcare supply chain management services.

The certification is a globally recognized standard and was achieved following a rigorous audit of Vizient’s operational and quality management systems. It affirms Vizient’s commitment to quality management principles, operational efficiency and the delivery of exceptional supply chain management technologies and solutions, according to the company.

“Achieving ISO 9001 certification is more than a milestone—it’s a testament to the rigorous, client-centered approach we bring to supply chain management,” Vizient Spend Management President Simrit Sandhu stated. “This recognition underscores the value of our Procure-to-Pay Solutions in improving data quality and operational performance for healthcare providers. Organizations using our centralized procurement and data management services also benefit from greater purchasing price accuracy—while staying focused on delivering high-quality patient care.”

Vizient’s Procure-to-Pay Solutions combine innovative technologies with expert-led managed services to help healthcare providers modernize their supply chain operations. These solutions automate time-consuming back-office manual activities such as purchase order creation or invoice processing, freeing up staff to focus on more strategic tasks. In addition, these solutions enhance data accuracy and consistency within the hospital’s enterprise resource planning master item file, which is foundational for optimal supply chain performance.

Automated purchasing workflows, combined with clean and reliable data, enable providers to purchase products at optimal pricing while using streamlined processes that enhance operational efficiency and drive greater savings.

The Procure-to-Pay function represents a critical component of Vizient’s broader integrated supply chain capabilities. In addition to purchasing, Vizient provides end-to-end supply chain solutions for healthcare providers—including category management, value analysis, inventory management, data and analytics, and operational oversight. This model enables health systems to fully integrate their supply chain operations while driving strategic alignment, standardization, and measurable performance improvement across the continuum of care.

The nation’s largest provider-driven healthcare performance improvement company, Vizient provides solutions and services to more than two-thirds of U.S. acute care providers and more than one-third of ambulatory providers. Vizient offers proprietary data and analytics to deliver unique clinical and operational insights and a contract portfolio representing $156 billion in annual purchasing volume enabling cost-effective care delivery. With its acquisition of Kaufman Hall in 2024, Vizient expanded its advisory services to help providers achieve financial, clinical and operational excellence. Headquartered in Irving, Texas, Vizient has offices throughout the United States.
