Atrium Medical wins Supplier Performance Award

Atrium Medical Corporation today announced that it is a winner of the Supplier Performance Award, presented by the Premier healthcare alliance.

Premier contracts with more than 800 suppliers and Atrium is one of 65 contracted suppliers to receive the Performance Award. Winners are recognized for their outstanding management of Premier agreements and drive toward the mutual goal of providing clinical and financial value to the not-for-profit hospital members of the Premier alliance.

"All of us at Atrium take extraordinary pride in the design and manufacture of our products and the quality service we provide to enhance the level of patient care to all of our Premier and alliance members," said Jeffrey McGill, Vice President of Marketing and Corporate Communications, Atrium Medical Corporation. "We are very proud of our longstanding partnership with Premier and proud to once again receive this prestigious award in recognition of our efforts to exceed our customers' expectations."

Greg Morlan, Director of National Accounts, accepted the award at the 2010 Premier Annual Breakthroughs Conference and Exhibition in Washington. The award ceremony was held at the Gaylord National Hotel and Convention Center on Wednesday, June 9.

"The Performance Award honors Premier valued suppliers that strive for collaboration and performance excellence to benefit the alliance and we are honored to recognize these top performers," said Premier Purchasing Partners president Mike Alkire.

Premier's Performance Award applauds the efforts of contracted suppliers to meet and exceed operational expectations. In selecting recipients, satisfaction and performance data are collected and scored over four successive calendar quarters. Feedback is provided during regular supplier business line reviews. Organizations scoring 80 percent or higher earn the Performance Award.
