A Message to Our Healthcare Community

After more than a decade of helping healthcare organizations turn purchasing data into meaningful action, Blue.Point will conclude operations at the end of 2026 as part of the planned wind-down of our parent organization, Yankee Alliance.

Since our founding in 2013, Blue.Point has been guided by a simple but important goal: helping healthcare organizations identify opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce unnecessary variation, align utilization with evidence-based practice, and support high-quality patient care.

Over the past 13 years, that work evolved considerably. What began as Excel-based utilization analysis grew into a comprehensive, data-driven approach encompassing clinical utilization, benchmarking, operational improvement, and evidence-based practice. Working alongside healthcare leaders, clinicians, supply chain and value analysis professionals, we transformed complex purchasing data into actionable insights and helped organizations identify millions of dollars in clinical product utilization savings.

The scale of that work is reflected in the numbers: more than 100 savings categories, 200 million lines of purchase-order data, nearly 500 custom product-type categorizations, and over 800 custom product-detail categorizations. But the numbers tell only part of the story. We are equally proud of the relationships behind them—customers who challenged us to innovate, broaden our thinking, and continually find better ways to use data to improve product utilization and healthcare value.

As we enter our final months of operation, our commitment to our customers remains unchanged. We will continue to support our customers through December 31, 2026, while ensuring a thoughtful and orderly transition. We will also take this time to recognize what has been accomplished: the innovations we developed, the measurable impact of our work, the healthcare organizations that placed their trust in us, and the talented people whose expertise and dedication made Blue.Point possible.

To our customers, colleagues, and the many healthcare professionals who have trusted, challenged, and collaborated with us over the years: thank you.

Blue.Point is immensely proud of what we built together and of the lasting impact that data, clinical expertise, and collaboration can have on healthcare. While this chapter is coming to an end, the principle that has guided our work remains as relevant as ever:

Best practice doesn’t have to cost more.

2013–2026
