Its group purchasing activity and improvement-oriented services place it between healthcare organizations seeking purchasing leverage, operational support and better-informed decisions, and suppliers seeking access to an organized provider network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pb-lead\"\u003eThat position raises practical questions about differentiation, customer choice and the durability of network-based value: which activities deserve resources, how do provider and supplier relationships reinforce one another, and what external pressures may reshape demand?
