Deadline Approaches for Suppliers to Submit Application for Innovative Technology Exchange 2017

IRVING, Texas--()--Suppliers interested in participating in the Vizient Innovative Technology Exchange 2017 are encouraged to submit their applications now for the event on Thursday, Sept. 14, at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver. The Innovative Technology Exchange can accommodate about 170 technology products and space is rapidly filling. The deadline for suppliers to submit an application for participation in the event is July 28, 2017.

The Innovative Technology Exchange 2017 is a part of the Vizient Clinical Connections Summit, Sept. 12-15 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver. Vizient expects approximately 2000 clinicians from member hospitals will attend to experience first-hand the problem-solving capabilities these products offer.

“The Innovative Technology Exchange is part of our clinical-focused member event. As result, the Exchange draws a large number of clinicians and the suppliers enjoy the opportunity to interact with so many providers at one venue,” said Debbie Archer, procurement director at Vizient. “The hands-on format gives clinicians confidence and credibility when they discuss the products with physicians and other groups within their organization.”

The annual Innovative Technology Exchange is part of Vizient’s Innovative Technology Program that includes product review by member-led councils and task forces of supplier submitted technologies. Since 2003, Vizient has reviewed more than 2200 new and innovative technologies as part of the Innovative Technology Program. This review process may result in an Innovative Technology contract with Vizient.
