Owens & Minor helps customers reduce costs
and improve patient outcomes. By Mark Lawton
also provides technology-based
services and solutions as well as
home healthcare.
The company competes against
both major companies and a host
of smaller ones. "It's a super-competitive market," says Mark Zacur,
senior vice president and chief
procurement officer.
Zacur started at O&M in June.
He previously headed Fisher
Healthcare, and before that, led
technical procurement in the
Americas for Bayer Corp.
Zacur explains that O&M's focus
goes beyond manufacturing and
distributing products. "O&M has
a unique understanding of the
end-to-end continuum of care
that comes from being in business
for over 130 years," he says. "That
knowledge serves as our foundation to engage with customers to
help improve patient outcomes
and reduce costs."
O&M's mission is important to
healthcare providers today. Zacur
explains that hospitals in particular are constantly under financial
pressure. O&M leverages technology and data to drive out costs
wherever possible.
