What is Alliance Purchasing Network?
The Alliance Purchasing Network (APN) is a partnership of successful state and regional Senior Care Service Provider groups and alliances designed to establish national purchasing agreements that benefit mission-driven senior care facilities. Beyond being your purchasing partner, APN strives to give our member facilities a strategic advantage in providing quality care.
APN is dedicated to giving member senior care facilities control over their purchasing costs.
APN is designed to maximize the return of incentives, rebates and lower prices to participating member organizations.
APN is an opportunity for member organizations to create a new revenue stream by expanding service to member facilities.
APN is a transparent, low-overhead organization.
APN provides a network of Vendors who do more than “deliver a product”; they are a part of the providers team.
How is APN be different from existing buying groups?
APN develops agreements directly with vendors and manufacturers; ensuring that rebates, incentives and lower prices flow through to member facilities. Members earn 100% of rebates and majority of GPO fees.
Provides a network of vendor Partners who are innovative and proactive the needs of the industry.
Group participation in a national program drives prices lower over time than state or regional groups can achieve.
There are no dues or charges for participating facilities.
Alliances and Provider groups earn distributions based on participation.
APN is focused on long-term-care and other senior serving facility needs (not just an add-on to an acute-care focused program).
APN works hand-and-glove with Vendor Partners to provide a responsiveness and expertise to the members they serve.
Why does APN succeed?
Participation Drives Price… With strong participation from members, APN negotiates, as the primary voice, for mission-driven Senior Serving organizations. Benefits of these negotiations accrue to member organizations.
