Herman Miller for Healthcare today announced its new three-year agreement with Novation, a group purchasing organization based in Irving, Texas.
Effective from May 1, 2008, to April 30, 2011, the agreement provides improved discounts to Novation members for Herman Miller and Brandrud furnishings, which may be utilized in administrative areas, acute care facilities, pharmacies, laboratories, lobbies, and patient rooms.
Herman Miller's extensive line of flexible, modular products enables healthcare facilities to adapt to evolving care giving processes, and the industry-leading warranty and durability also ease costs associated with renovations and potential landfill waste.
Established in 1998, Novation is the result of consolidating the supply and contracting functions of two national health care alliances--VHA, Inc., and University HealthSystem Consortium (UHC). Novation acts as the contract services company for members, associates, and affiliates of both alliances to help them manage and reduce supply costs.
As a GPO, Novation delivers savings to more than 2,500 members and affiliates of VHA and UHC, while also providing contracting services to over 10,000 health care and education customers of Provista, a group purchasing and business solutions organization jointly owned by VHA and UHC and formed to serve organizations that are not members of either alliance.
