Melissa Lejsek is the AVP of Equipment Services at Lifepoint Health. She has handled standardization agreements across Imaging, Lab, and Food Services over the last decade. She brings a wealth of knowledge on value and challenges standardization can provide.
Melissa’s role includes oversight of contract compliance with GPO (Group Purchasing Organizations) and organizational contracts, negotiating standardization agreements and working with business owners for project completion. Where standardization was unachievable, she has led many fleet management strategies in coordination with clinical, operational, and financial leadership to manage capital equipment. Fully understanding the aspects of clinical, operational and fiscal needs contributes to the program's success. In 2023, Lifepoint recognized $36 million in savings from standardization. They are projecting savings of over $44 million in 2024.
