Scalable Pharmaceutical & Medical Waste Programs for GPOs & Member Networks

Why GPOs Need Centralized, Compliant Waste Services

GPOs are responsible for sourcing high-quality, cost-effective services that ensure compliance across a wide range of care settings. Without a standard waste partner, GPO members may face:

• Inconsistent disposal practices and lack of compliance documentation

• DEA violations for improper controlled substance handling

• OSHA and DOT fines for unsafe sharps or transport issues

• Contracting inefficiencies and unnecessary vendor duplication

• Audit failures and risk to CMS, Joint Commission, or state licensure

Easy RX Cycle provides a single, system-wide solution that’s scalable, affordable, and aligned with the diverse compliance needs of healthcare networks.
