Global Healthcare Exchange, LLC (GHX) on April 30 announced the recipients of its annual GHXcellence Awards during the 2019 GHX Summit in San Antonio, TX. Award winners include provider and supplier organizations that are using healthcare technology and current best practices to transform healthcare into a better experience for patients while cutting back on waste and unnecessary spending.
GHX said in the announcement that winners must demonstrate successful performance metrics from automating its business processes and explain how they strategically implemented GHX solutions to make meaningful improvements.
Also, Greg Bylo, a well-respected and admired supply chain veteran, who passed away last year, was honored in memoriam with the company’s Supply Chain
“Greg was well known by many in the industry who, no doubt, share my deep sense of loss, not only for a friend but also a true champion of the value of standards in healthcare,” wrote Karen Conway, Vice President, Healthcare Value at GHX, monthly columnist and editorial advisory board member for HPN. "Greg is perhaps best remembered for his gentle leadership style and someone who was always willing to lend a helping hand, to create a teachable moment, and to express appreciation for his own mentors.”
