Gallion Health has named Yale New Haven Health (YNHHS) as a development partner and investor as the healthcare technology company expands its bill-only supply chain platform across one of Connecticut’s largest health systems.
The partnership, announced on August 19, will see YNHHS pilot Gallion’s technology across its facilities while its supply chain, operations and finance teams work with Gallion’s engineering and data science teams on new capabilities.
The companies said the work will include AI-enabled features and workflow improvements identified during the pilot. Gallion’s platform is designed to manage bill-only purchases, which cover medical implants and other supplies that hospitals do not keep in inventory.
It connects with electronic health record (EHR) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems to validate bill sheets, identify discrepancies and support purchasing and payment workflows in real time.
The deal gives Gallion access to a large academic health system while giving YNHHS a direct role in shaping the product’s development.
From Hospital Workflow To Commercial Platform Gallion originated at the University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS), where it was developed through iHarbor, the health system’s technology and incubation studio. UMMS spun the company out in 2025, making Gallion the first company to emerge from the innovation center.
The platform addresses a process that can involve clinical documentation, supply chain teams, vendors, billing staff and finance departments. Gallion said its system can compare bill-only documentation with EHR records and contracted ERP pricing while flagging discrepancies before they move further downstream.
That focus puts the partnership within a wider push by health systems to use technology to find and control supply-chain costs.
