Healthcare facilities can generate energy savings with group purchasing organizations (GPOs) that can help health systems lock in prices, according to an article on the Modern Healthcare website.

GPOs can evaluate data from bill payment companies or procurement agencies and help hospitals understand how they can save on energy.
