Some people were born organized and then there are those of us who struggle with organizing every year at this time. It seems that its always at the end of the year when that little annoying bug begins nudging you to clear things up and start the new year organized.Well, Ive read just about everybodys directions, books, and helpful hints about getting organized (in fact, Im thinking of writing one myself), and Ive got to tell you there are some misconceptions being fostered by every organizational guru. It will be my pleasure to give you the skinny on that in todays column.Here are the 8 misconceptions that we can throw out:1.Handle paper once.

A group purchasing organization, or GPO, is an entity that is created to leverage the purchasing or buying power of a group of members to obtain discounts from vendors based on the collective buying power of the GPO members. Many GPO's are funded by either a membership fee or an administrative service fee that is paid by the vendors. Many GPO's provide free membership in an effort to attract businesses or organizations into their GPO which in turn gives them greater buying power. Member participation may either be contractual (members agree to purchase solely through GPO contracts) or voluntary (members only participate based on their specific purchasing need).The History of Group Purchasing OrganizationsIn 1910, the first healthcare GPO was established by the Hospital Bureau of New York. Surprisingly, during the next 50 years, only nine more GPO's came onto the scene bringing the total number of group purchasing organizations in the US to 10 in 1962. By 2007, there were hundreds of healthcare GPO's in the US. Statistics show that 96% of all acute-care hospitals and 98% of all community hospitals hold at least one GPO membership.
