    Main Results:

    • Spending on clinical contracts continues to exceed spending on business services, though the gap may be narrowing.
    • Clinical vendor performance in meeting savings targets is now comparable to business service vendors.
    • Both clinical and business vendors are receiving improved ratings, but hospitals actively address underperformance by insourcing or switching vendors.

    Conclusions:

    • Vendor performance parity between clinical and business services suggests maturing outsourcing markets.
    • Hospitals maintain a proactive approach to vendor management, prioritizing performance and cost-effectiveness.
