Applying advanced strategies for procurement can save hospitals substantial amounts of
money. Many different strategies exist which fulfil different aims. Group purchasing
organizations, the use of a consignment stock and supplier performance management are
especially suited to improve the hospitals’ procurement. Based on focus interviews with
procurement managers of Portuguese hospitals it became clear that there is enormous
room to improve the general way how procurement is done but also the application of the
three strategies mentioned. Given the overall importance of hospital logistics, the
hospitals’ performance could make substantial progress when improving the hospitals’
