The first time I heard of RPCs, a client of mine called them “Virtual IDNs”; that was probably 15 years ago. The idea is simple enough: it is hyper aggregation or super aggregation. Facilities that have different owners create an organization that empowers them to create more value in a contract.
Today, they have grown into sizeable and, at times, complex organizations. Definitive Healthcare has made available a list of the Top 25 RPCs by how many hospitals are in their membership as well as total net patient revenue.

• 8 of the top 25 RPCs are Vizient RPCs
• 3 of the top 25 are in the Dakotas
• 11 of the top 25 have 100 or more hospitals
