Article

Metrex Research today announced that it is a winner of the Supplier Performance Award, presented by the Premier healthcare alliance.

Premier contracts with more than 800 suppliers and Metrex Research is one of 65 contracted suppliers to receive the Performance Award. Winners are recognized for their outstanding management of Premier agreements and drive toward the mutual goal of providing clinical and financial value to the not-for-profit hospital members of the Premier alliance.

Cris Pellegrino and Fidel Davila accepted the award June 9 at the 2010 Premier Annual Breakthroughs Conference and Exhibition at the Gaylord National Hotel and Convention Center.

“The Performance Award honors Premier valued suppliers that strive for collaboration and performance excellence to benefit the alliance and we are honored to recognize these top performers,” said Premier Purchasing Partners president Mike Alkire.

Premier's Performance Award applauds the efforts of contracted suppliers to meet and exceed operational expectations. In selecting recipients, satisfaction and performance data are collected and scored over four successive calendar quarters. Feedback is provided during regular supplier business line reviews.
