El Camino Health honored with GHX Supply Chains of Distinction Award

Mountain View, CA – For the second consecutive year, El Camino Health has been recognized by healthcare supply chain leader Global Healthcare Exchange (GHX) as a recipient of the 2024 Supply Chains of Distinction Award. This award honors top performing hospitals and health systems in North America that have demonstrated exceptional commitment to supply chain excellence, innovation, and resilience.

"This award epitomizes the commitment and excellence our supply chain team showcases every day," said Carlos Bohorquez, chief financial officer of El Camino Health. "Supply chain automation and innovation is key for El Camino Health to provide the highest quality care to our patients in the local community. I'm extremely proud of the work being done here and it's a testament to the entire department whose efforts and focus are essential to our organization's mission, success and commitment to being good stewards of the health care dollar."

The Supply Chains of Distinction Award is based upon a set of "perfect order" metrics, rated as a percentage of purchase order lines sent across the GHX Exchange (integrated) that are touchless and completely automated, from purchase through payment.

"With the significant transformation taking place across the healthcare ecosystems, organizations such as El Camino Health are at the forefront of integrating automation and data-driven solutions into their supply chain operations," said Tina Vatanka Murphy, president and CEO, GHX. "This commitment to innovation not only streamlines processes but also contributes to improved patient outcomes and advances health equity."
