Medibuy Finds Another Partner

Combining empactHealth with its earlier partnership with Premier, medibuy now brings together a leading for-profit system and not-for- profit alliance, creating arguably the hospital industry's largest e-commerce platform. Medibuy's challenge: to get past the skepticism and uncertainty that has plagued B2B e-commerce for the past half year.
