Global Healthcare Exchange (GHX) is a healthcare technology company founded in 2000 by a consortium of industry leaders including GE, Johnson & Johnson, Abbott, Baxter, and Medtronic. The company builds and operates a cloud-based supply chain network that connects healthcare providers, suppliers, and distributors in a shared digital ecosystem, supporting end-to-end supply chain processes across the sector.
The GHX platform processes over 166 million purchase orders and invoices each year and connects more than 18,000 healthcare facilities. The company states it delivers more than $2 billion in industry savings annually. Its core technology spans intelligent automation, data-driven analytics, electronic invoicing, automated ordering, inventory management, vendor credentialing, and value analysis and clinical evidence management.
GHX's model is built on eliminating inefficiencies from healthcare supply chains rather than redistributing them. By replacing manual, fragmented processes with automated and data-driven workflows, the platform aims to reduce costs for both providers and suppliers while improving supply chain resilience. The stated mission is to simplify the patient-centered business of healthcare in ways that free hospitals to focus on care delivery and enable suppliers to continue developing medical products.
