Healthcare IT News- With an eye toward taking the healthcare supply chain to new levels, UPMC on July 8 introduced Pensiamo, a new company whose goal is to help hospitals improve supply chain performance, where costs are high and getting higher, second only to labor costs.

Pensiamo is an Italian word. Translation: ‘We think.’

“We’re analytical. We’re high-tech. We can provide insights that others cannot,” UPMC’s James Szilagy told Healthcare IT News. Szilagy will transition from his role as chief supply chain officer for UPMC to CEO at Pensiamo.
