Vizient, Inc. announced today it is accepting applications for its 2024 Innovative Technology Exchange and encouraged suppliers of medical equipment and technology who want to showcase their products to health care decision makers from across the country to participate. The event will take place Sept.18 in Las Vegas during the Vizient Connections Summit and the deadline to apply is April 9. Applications can be submitted here.

The annual Innovative Technology Exchange offers selected suppliers the unique opportunity to demonstrate their technologies to supply chain and clinical leaders from Vizient provider customers and subject matter experts who serve on Vizient customer-led councils. Selected suppliers will highlight how their technologies improve clinical outcomes, enhance safety or drive incremental improvements to healthcare delivery or business models. The event is part of a process that can earn candidates a Vizient Innovative Technology contract or designation.

“This is an exciting event for suppliers and providers alike,” said Kelly Flaharty, contract services senior director at Vizient, who leads the program. “Whether it’s clinical care, patient safety or business operations, devices and products on display at the Exchange have the potential to make a real difference in healthcare.”

The annual Innovative Technology Exchange is part of Vizient’s Innovative Technology Program that includes product review of supplier-submitted technologies by customer-led councils and task forces.
