For more than 50 years, we were known as ECRI’s healthcare spend management and recall management solutions. You’ve trusted us to help you make more informed decisions so you can better manage all aspects of your supply chain, and we’ve provided you with unmatched data, insights and expertise to do it.

Today, we are proud to announce that ECRI has spun out its spend management and recall management solutions as Staritas, an independent company, to take things to the next level.

While our name is new, what we stand for isn’t. Staritas builds on a 50-year legacy of pioneering work in spend and recall management. We remain deeply committed to the transparency, independence, and objectivity that have become the hallmark of our portfolio and services.

At the same time, our focus is squarely on the future. AI is transforming every industry – perhaps none more profoundly than healthcare. And with investment from Accel-KKR, a technology-focused investment firm known for scaling software and data-driven businesses, we’re going to unleash its power to transform the way healthcare supply chains are managed in partnership with our clients.

This moment is both a continuation and a transformation, building on a trusted foundation while unlocking new opportunities for innovation and growth. With strong financial backing, differentiated capabilities, and a clear strategic vision, Staritas is uniquely positioned to help you navigate supply and capital complexity and improve performance and outcomes.

Because we know how hard your job is.

When it comes to making decisions, it can often feel like you’re flying blind. With so many different vendors, options, and data sources, how can you be sure the choices you make won’t cost you later? If you have an incomplete picture of pricing, performance, and product data, you can’t.

That’s where Staritas comes in.

Our mission is simple: to give you an independent, unbiased view across capital and supply, so that you can make a clear choice every time. And as an independent company with one of the most experienced and dedicated teams in our sector, we can do this with greater speed and scale.

With Staritas, you can finally see all your options. We give you an unbiased, GPO-agnostic perspective on every purchase – from masks to MRI machines – and insights from $74B in spend across 16,000 manufacturers, 460K+ items, and 500+ categories as well as help you manage recalls.  And we do this work in over 70 countries, helping thousands of entities – from hospitals, health systems, health authorities to manufacturers and other stakeholders.

And we’re not stopping there. We’re investing heavily to deliver stronger datasets and new, AI-powered capabilities that will give you a fuller picture of pricing trends, recall alerts, product variation, substitution options, and more so that you can make safer, more cost-effective decisions that have a positive impact on your bottom line and patient care.

Nearly 90% of the top hospitals and health systems in the U.S. rely on our five decades-plus of expertise for their most important supply chain decisions. Each year, we help identify up to $13 billion in opportunity savings — and we’re just getting started.

Because we understand the challenges you face — and what it takes to overcome them — like no other partner, it’s just as important to say: the team you know and trust hasn’t changed. We are now Staritas, bringing the same objectivity, passion, and commitment to your success.

We’re continually inspired by the loyalty and partnership you’ve shown us over the years, and we’re excited for what we’ll build together next. At Staritas, our goal is simple: to help you make every choice clear.

Sincerely,

Emmet
