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.

Here are some interesting facts in the list:

• The 25th largest RPC has 42 hospitals and $2.6 billion in 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
