Overview

GHX (Global Healthcare Exchange) operates a healthcare-only supply chain network connecting hospitals and health systems with medical-supply vendors. Founded in 2000 by five major medical-products companies (Abbott, Baxter, GE Healthcare, Johnson & Johnson and Medtronic), the cloud platform reports roughly 1.3 million trading-partner connections spanning 18,000+ provider facilities (4,100+ hospitals) and 18,000+ supplier divisions, with $223B+ in annual supply chain transactional volume flowing through it.

The platform covers the transaction lifecycle around clinical and nonclinical supplies: Exchange Enterprise and the GHX Marketplace automate requisition-to-order workflows including bill-only and consignment implant ordering; eInvoicing and ePay digitize supplier invoicing and payment; Data Connect cleanses and enriches item and price master data feeding cloud ERPs; Vendormate handles vendor-rep credentialing, sanction screening and facility badge access; and GHX Lumere (Value Analysis) supplies physician-level utilization analytics and clinical value-analysis consulting.

GHX positions its ERP work around the three major cloud ERPs used in healthcare: it holds Oracle Gold Partner, Workday Select Partner and Infor Complementary Partner status, and reports having facilitated more than 80 cloud ERP migrations since 2018. The company is headquartered in Louisville, Colorado; Veritas Capital announced a definitive agreement in January 2026 to acquire a majority stake alongside existing investors Temasek and Warburg Pincus.
