At HPC International, Inc., we revolutionize hospital efficiency.
There are approximately 4.2M registered nurses (RNs) in the United States today, making them the country’s single largest healthcare occupation and accounting for an estimated 40% of a typical healthcare system’s operating costs.
Outnumbering physicians 3:1, nurses are involved in virtually every form and at every stage of delivering healthcare services to patients in all types of settings, including hospital care, clinic services, home health, long-term care and others. Nurses play an integral and collaborative yet independent and unique role in the delivery of healthcare services. Ensuring the continuity of nurse staffing levels is the highest priorority for healthcare – see how HPCEducationManager can help with your goals!
Healthcare systems are facing increasing financial pressure with inflation at record highs following the Covid-19 pandemic. Rising operational costs, continued labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, and stock market fluctuations have combined to undermine financial stability and threaten the economic sustainability of the healthcare industry.
Franciscan Alliance utilized HPCEducationManager to improve centralization, control and oversight of their continuing education and professional training and development expenses, which has helped the organization realize considerable savings. HPC’s team provided program communications, training materials, expense tracking reports, program workflows — everything needed to implement the program swiftly.
HPC stepped in on short notice to assist us with reviewing our library subscriptions prior to the renewal deadlines. Our assigned HPC Librarian identified a subscription where our pricing appeared high. She negotiated a price reduction on our behalf of nearly 50% versus what we were paying. Going forward, our healthcare system will also be utilizing the Library Services from HPC to provide evidence-based literature needed by our clinical teams. This will free up our clinicians from this time-consuming responsibility, so we can focus on our patients. I have already heard back from one of our program managers who told me that our assigned HPC librarian helped save him hours of literature search time to find evidence for a clinical question he had. The HPC librarian was able to retrieve 10 articles within only 2 days on a topic that he thought there wasn’t a lot of evidence available. We have not had a medical librarian in our organization for a few years and it was a gap that we have been wanting to fill. I have been so happy and grateful for their services!

Hospitals in the U.S. today are under increasing pressure to contain operational spending while maintaining quality and patient and employee satisfaction. To address these challenges, many hospitals have eliminated librarian staff positions.
The removal of librarians leaves limited or no staff to manage the finances and daily operations of the library, no one to manage the library’s collection of content and no one to provide direction to users for how to find the information they are looking for. Outsourcing the management of the library to a professional library management company with research expertise has been shown to be the most viable, effective solution. In 24 months HPCLibrarian™ surpassed the original savings projections.
A fundamental component of a culture based on evidence-based practice and continuous learning is providing healthcare employees with access to a comprehensive medical library. Yet in 2019, NorthBay Health did not have a comprehensive medical library.
NorthBay Health did subscribe to several medical journals, databases and e-book collections to support staff. But the system had no librarian available – no one to manage those resources, to instruct staff on how to use them or where to find them, to oversee the budget and contracts for them, or to assist with ongoing research needs.

My hospital signed on with HPC International as a library resource for all hospital employees. HPC has been and continues to be a tremendous resource for me since I publish about two articles annually. Even during tough times when most businesses were closed due to COVID-19, HPC dug deeper to get me the articles I needed to substantiate my statements in my manuscripts. I also use this resource when creating education for the operating room staff, the department for which I am responsible, that is current. Other staff members access the resource as well for projects related to their continuing healthcare education.

Healthcare professionals across the country rely on continuing education, research materials, and other training resources to stay ahead of changes and new developments in medicine and to build and refine their skill sets. An infinite number of newly published leadership books, training manuals, clinical practice guidelines, medical journals, and more are available to professionals to aid in this continuing education and learning.
Books and other educational resources become more affordable when centralized purchasing processes are used. HPC’s service consolidated the ordering, negotiating, purchasing, invoicing, and shipping process for West Boca’s book orders, with HPC becoming their single centralized book supplier – not only for educational books and healthcare training course materials, but for any types of books, e-books, magazines, textbooks, pocket guides, manuals and reference materials on any subject.
Innovative Strategies in Healthcare:
Amplifying the Business Case for
Supplier Diversity
The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the frailty of the global healthcare supply chain, but it also paved the way for supply chain professionals to discover the vast capabilities of diverse suppliers to respond to their urgent demands and meet ongoing needs. For Premier, this healthcare crisis propelled the launch of a new program for investing in domestic and geographically-diverse suppliers to improve the resiliency of the healthcare supply chain. This paper goes beyond just the business case for why supplier diversity is a fundamental component of how to improve inclusiveness and equality in healthcare. This collaborative effort led by Premier highlights the clinical case for supplier diversity as well. It shows how some of today’s leading healthcare organizations are partnering with diverse suppliers and implementing new strategies to embrace diversity and inclusion, build trust between patients and providers, and improve health outcomes in the face of some of the greatest challenges we have ever faced before.
