Running on Ice: GHX rolls out new AI capabilities to strengthen healthcare supply chains

Global Healthcare Exchange (GHX) is ushering in a new era of intelligent supply chain operations with the launch of several AI-driven tools aimed at transforming how healthcare organizations manage disruptions, reduce inefficiencies, and make smarter decisions.

The core of this launch is ResiliencyAI, GHX’s proprietary platform that brings together predictive analytics, generative AI, and dynamic reporting. These capabilities are designed to help hospitals and suppliers uncover the root causes of supply chain issues, anticipate disruptions, and take swift, informed action. 

One of the new features is Perfect Order Co-Pilot, an AI-powered assistant that helps users understand and improve their order accuracy by analyzing data in near real-time and guiding teams through actionable next steps.

Another key development is the Resiliency Center, which focuses on backorder management, a persistent pain point for many healthcare providers. Using predictive AI, the system identifies products at risk of being delayed, evaluates the clinical and operational impact, and suggests intelligent substitutions before issues escalate. 

According to GHX President and CEO Tina Vatanka Murphy, the goal is to equip healthcare professionals with smarter tools that not only react to disruptions but help prevent them. “By pairing AI and automation with 25 years of trust and deep operational intelligence, we’re empowering the GHX community with the tools to build resilience from the inside out,” Murphy said.

What makes this launch especially notable is how closely it was developed in collaboration with the healthcare community. GHX worked with more than 30 providers and suppliers, along with its AI Council and Customer Advisory Board, to ensure that the tools reflected real-world challenges. Early adopters like AdventHealth and Roche Diagnostics have already reported improvements in strategic planning and operational visibility.

GHX has plans to further expand its AI capabilities later this year, including natural-language querying in reporting tools, new functionality in its Marketplace platform, and a Supplier Resiliency Center that will improve collaboration across the ecosystem.
