About Gdaha
The Greater Dayton Area Hospital Association began in
1936 as an informal forum of hospital leaders. Over the years, the
organization grew into a group purchasing organization to provide
supplies to hospitals in a cost efficient manner while meeting
their large scale demand. In 1979, the organization was officially
incorporated as the Greater Dayton Area Hospital
Association (GDAHA).
Much of GDAHA's efforts in the Dayton region are a result of the
thoughtful leadership of our hospitals and their ability to
collaborate to develop proactive solutions. Our Board of Trustees
and committees address common concerns to develop innovative
solutions. Today, GDAHA is recognized by hospitals, business
leaders, public officials, the media, and the community as the
region's resource for healthcare information.
As a non-profit trade association representing 25 hospitals in
11 counties, GDAHA serves its members in the areas of quality of
care, advocacy, member services and reports, and health information
technology. Inititiaves for 2011 include:
- Quality of Care - Build upon statewide
leadership demonstrated by GDAHA to provide the most efficient,
effective, and highest quality of care to patients in the Dayton
region.
- Advocacy - Communicate and facilitate the
development of a positive public health policy that supports our
members' efforts to deliver state-of-art healthcare services.
- Member Services and Reports - Identify and
provide programs, services or reports that strengthen our members'
viability and success to provide the highest quality, efficient,
and effective patient care.
- Health Information Technology - Provide
opportunities for GDAHA members to implement health information
technology by leveraging available resources that enhance the
quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of patient care.
