CHAMPS Group Purchasing recently attended the Ohio Association of Ambulatory Surgery Centers’ (OAASC) Annual Education Conference in Columbus, OH on Sept. 27 and 28, 2022. Striving to enhance the quality of care in Ohio ambulatory surgery centers by supporting members in their expanding roles and responsibilities in meeting community health needs, OAASC assembled an excellent line-up of sessions, keynote speakers and clinical and administrative breakouts.

OAASC attendees were able to attend sessions devoted to administrative and business topics and participate in infection prevention training as well as visit an expanded vendor area offering information on new products and services.

CHAMPS GPO was thrilled to take our partnership with Lazurite on the road as neighboring exhibitors, giving us the opportunity to introduce members and attendees to the Lazurite team and their innovative ArthroFree System. Additionally, we were able to showcase our services and introduce attendees to several of our supplier partnerships for niche products and services that are innovative and cutting edge, including:

•  Lazurite for Arthroscopy Supplies
• Lazurite's inaugural device is the ArthroFree System: the wireless camera for arthroscopy and endoscopy. This system "cuts the cords" to the surgical tower and frees surgeons to operate with unfettered motion. ArthroFree also eliminates the fiber-optic camera cables associated with patient burns and fires.

• ReadySet Surgical for SaaS for OR Loaner and Consignment Management
• ReadySet's SaaS platform offers an easy-to-install software to completely optimize vendor managed inventory in the operating room (OR). Their platform helps to drive communication and efficiency improvements throughout the entire implantable device supply chain.

• West CMR for Inventory Solutions Reseller Management
• West CMR provides reliable, efficient, and sustainable alternatives to how surgical supplies are bought and sold.

Thank you to all the attendees and partners for visiting our booth to learn how CHAMPS GPO helps members save on virtually all areas of spend. And a special thank you to OAASC for hosting this tremendous event.
