Procure Items from GHX Healthcare Catalog via Oracle Healthcare Marketplace

Global Healthcare Exchange (GHX) is now a data provider for the Oracle Healthcare Marketplace. You can now search the GHX healthcare item catalog through Oracle Healthcare Marketplace in Redwood Self Service Procurement.

Oracle Healthcare Marketplace gives your requesters access to a vast list of healthcare items that have been cleansed and enriched with GTINs, manufacturer part numbers and relevant healthcare attributes. If a requester can't find what they need within the local catalog or preferred contracts, they can search an extensive healthcare product catalog within the same shopping experience. A non-catalog request submitted with items from the Oracle Healthcare Marketplace provides the buying organization the key product details for buying and sourcing efficiency.
