COMPARE

Platform vs. consultants vs. GPO analytics.

The honest comparison. We are not trying to replace your GPO — we complement it. We are trying to replace the $1.5M+ consulting engagement that leaves after 6 months.

Hospital Focus CK

Platform

$12,500/month. Continuous. You keep everything.

Consulting Firms

Traditional Firms

$1.5M - $3.5M engagement. Project-scoped. IP walks out.

We complement your GPO. We replace your consultants.

Your GPO negotiates baseline contract pricing. That is valuable — we are not here to replace it. We are here to help you use those contracts better: identify which categories have un-captured margin, generate the RFPs, run the negotiations, and track the results on a project board.

The traditional consulting firm does the same thing — but charges $1.5M - $3.5M for a 6-month engagement, leaves you with a PDF, and you start over when the contract expires. Hospital Focus CK is the platform version of that engagement — continuously updated, continuously available, and the IP stays with you.
