TPC

What TPC does

TPC, founded in 1985 and headquartered in Plano, Texas, is a member-owned partnership platform serving independent community-based hospitals and health systems. The organization enables its approximately 11 member health systems — collectively representing over 550 hospitals and roughly $1 billion in purchasing volume — to operate as a single contracting entity, preserving hospital independence while accessing enterprise-scale benefits. TPC organizes its offering around four core service lines: Sourcing (collective purchasing and supply chain management), Performance Improvement (quality, patient experience, and labor benchmarking), Revenue Cycle (managed care strategies, clinical documentation improvement, and automation), and Comparative Analytics (a data platform for financial, clinical, and operational benchmarking across the membership).

The underlying technology is a collaborative performance platform that aggregates hospital business volume and integrates with partner technologies. Its proprietary components include a Comparative Analytics Platform that achieved 100% member participation in the Clinical Database (CDB) and delivered 22% improvement over baseline in aggregate Quality & Accountability rankings, plus a collective sourcing mechanism that negotiates as a pooled contracting entity. Strategic partners extend the platform's capabilities: Vizient (core sourcing and performance improvement partner since 2018, renewed February 2025), Medpricer (purchased services cost management since 2017), WhiteSpace Health (revenue cycle benchmarking since 2022), OpenMarkets (capital equipment procurement since 2014), Healthfuse (vendor management since 2018), Paramount Health Solutions (CDI/DRG validation since 2020), and Stryker Sustainability Solutions (medical device reprocessing). The platform is delivered directly to member hospitals without public APIs, SDKs, or third-party developer integrations.

TPC operates a sales-led, consultative go-to-market targeting hospitals interested in remaining independent while optimizing sourcing, revenue cycle, and clinical operations. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured as custom annual membership fees based on hospital size and services utilized. The organization may also derive transaction-related revenue from supplier relationships, given average purchased-services savings of 14% yielding over $35 million since 2010. Cumulative member savings have reached $180 million since 2010, with $95 million in value delivered to members in 2025 alone. TPC is governed by member-led committees and boards, has no external parent or private equity ownership, and is led as of September 30, 2025 by President & CEO Geoff Brenner.
