By Em Atteberry posted 04-01-2025
Rush University Medical Center , known for its excellence in patient care, education, and research, faced a significant roadblock in one of its core operational areas — procurement.

This lack of cohesion led to poor contract tracking, extended approval times, and unnecessary costs. With services spanning different hospitals and healthcare units, Rush’s decentralized procurement process made it difficult to ensure contracts were consistently stored and properly reviewed. The absence of a streamlined system resulted ...

The habit of seeing a good resource and then leaving that tab open for too long is shared by many, I know. So while you are organizing and bookmarking too, I thought I would share some Agiloft customer resources that you can add to your browser bookmarks: Searching the Agiloft Community is a great way to find information based on all content ...
