| With consolidation, PPS and cost pressures being brought to bear on our market, we need the economies of scale and purchasing power a Buying Group Organization can give us. We have all considered the existing BGO’s, but none are specifically focused on LTC. Our niche, with its $1.5 billion US market, has not been important enough to warrant its own BGO and therefore has been lumped into the hospital supply or physician’s office category in all current BGO’s. We know that our LTC/HHC market is substantially different from the hospital market or physician’s office, and we have our own set of issues and concerns. The smaller regional distributors/dealers are at a distinct disadvantage in price, geographic coverage (for large chains) and the ability to provide all the value added services being offered by our national competitors. We can now begin leveling the playing field on pricing, marketing, added value programs, and cost reductions systems. |
