Medication Vendors-How do I choose?

With the opening of a new center comes the inevitable need to order supplies, equipment, and medications. Why should you choose between vendors, such as, Mckesson, Henry Schein, Cardinal, or Morris and Dickson?

I can provide insight into the pros and cons of each vendor. Directly or indirectly I have worked with all the vendors.

What to consider?:

  1. Variety of selection.
  2. Feedback of other customers with your type of facility.
  3. Acceptance of your group purchasing organization (GPO).
  4. Ease of ordering.
  5. Delivery time frame.
  6. Customer service process for errors in ordering and returns.

Once you have narrowed down a vendor, I can get you in touch with the representative for your area.
