Effective in 2007 the responsibility for the purchase of clinical patient care supplies, medical equipment and related services was transferred from Procurement and Disbursement Services to the new Medical Supply Chain organization. Medical Supply Sourcing (formerly Medical Procurement) has assumed the leadership of coordinating the Group Purchasing Organization program for clinical supplies and other patient related programs. Medical Supply Sourcing also assumed the responsibility for direct patent care services including the management contracts for Medical Supply Distribution, Ambulance and Lifeflight, Environmental Services, Medical Bio-Hazard Disposal Services, Nutrition Services and Medical Transcription services.

All non-clinical product contracts, general MRO and facility maintenance service contracts will continue to be managed by Procurement Services. The purchase of supplies, services and equipment for the Research and Academic departments of the University will also remain with Procurement Services.

Although Medical Supply Chain is now a functional organization reporting to VUMC Administration, all core systems, methods, policies and procedures will remain common between Medical Supply Chain and Procurement Services. These common systems and methods include the existing purchase requisitions process, eProcurement, the Pcard program and invoice processing by Disbursement Services.

The Vendor Liaison Office now reports to Medical Supply Sourcing and will, for the foreseeable future, reside in the office located in the Crystal Terrace building.
