  • Title: Group purchasing of food items maintains quality, cuts costs.
    Author: Saucier SJ.
    Journal: Hospitals; 1978 Oct 16; 52(20):95-6, 98. PubMed ID: 689639.
    Abstract:
    Hospital food group purchasing programs face problems that other kinds of group purchasing programs don't have. HARICOMP, a not-for-profit hospital shared services corporation, helped a group of Rhode Island hospitals solve some of these problems by using computers. The computers eliminate much of the time-consuming effort involved in making price comparisons, holding sales meetings, and doing paperwork.
