"Alignment to patient outcomes, company strategy, and future revenue models in healthcare are the key themes for 2015," says Eric O'Daffer, research vice president at Gartner. "We see innovation coming from mature supply chains that have stable organizations and strong talent. These organizations are most ready to successfully lead in consolidation and collaboration initiatives that will advance the healthcare value chain."
Mayo Clinic took the top spot in the Healthcare Supply Chain Top 25 for 2015 after three years at No. 2, as seen in the table below. Mayo's supply chain continues to be a model of steady improvement for this $9.8 billion healthcare provider across 22 hospitals and associated care sites in five states. Mayo focuses on the strategic alignment of the supply chain with the cost and quality of patient care through its one-year and five-year rolling strategic plan refresh process. The company has deep partnerships with strategic suppliers/service providers, and Gartner anticipates that Mayo will continue to build supply chain capabilities and innovate for years to come.

Cardinal Health dropped to the second spot after a four-year run in the No. 1 spot. As a pharmaceutical wholesaler, medical-surgical distributor, solution provider, and technology company, Cardinal touches almost everyone in the healthcare value chain at some point. Cardinal continues to build on collaborative solutions with healthcare providers, retailers and manufacturers, as well as quickening the pace on acquisitions. Connecting the end-to-end supply chain with more owned manufacturing capabilities keeps Cardinal on the innovation frontier.
Intermountain Healthcare retained the third ranking for 2015 during a year of progress and change. Intermountain is a leader in organizational understanding that investing in supply chain people, process, and technology across all nonlabor spend contributes to the balance of patient care, cost, and profitability.
"The Healthcare Supply Chain Top 25 for 2015 reflects the progress leaders have made in laying the foundation for future success," said O'Daffer. "Supply chain leaders are educating their teams, trading partners, and company leadership on the value of supply chain to improve service, lower costs, and enable growth and sustainable profits."

About the Healthcare Supply Chain Top 25 methodologies
Consistent with Gartner's Top 25 research methodologies, the Healthcare Supply Chain Top 25 ranking is derived from two main analyses: quantitative measures and opinion. Quantitative measures provide a view into how companies have performed in the past, and establish proxy connections between financial health, performance and supply chain excellence. The opinion component offers an eye to value chain leadership and demonstrated supply chain performance—crucial characteristics of Gartner's Top 25 ranking. These two components are combined into a total composite score.
