PEORIA, IL / ACCESSWIRE / May 14, 2024 / OSF HealthCare, a health system in Illinois and Michigan, has joined the MediLedger Network, deploying innovative technology in an effort to enhance contract and pricing process alignment across its pharmacy sites.
This showcases the innovation of OSF HealthCare, working with MediLedger, to expand its network to health systems, which already includes numerous Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs), manufacturers, and distributors. By implementing a robust four-way matching system among these trading partners, MediLedger will work to ensure consistent and accurate pricing, revolutionizing how contracts are managed.
"Leveraging MediLedger's technology marks a critical advance toward our goals of pricing transparency and operational efficiency," said Sandra Salverson, senior vice president of pharmacy services for OSF HealthCare. "We are excited to explore all of the possibilities offered through the MediLedger platform across all of our partners as we work to ensure accurate pricing which is essential to eliminating cumbersome credits, rebills and audits."
MediLedger allows OSF HealthCare to effortlessly publish its roster directly to GPOs, manufacturers, and wholesalers. This feature reduces the administrative effort needed in managing customer eligibility and allows healthcare pharmacy sites to better align with GPO's on-site eligibility.
Haris Kamal, CRO at MediLedger, said, "The integration of OSF HealthCare into our network is a testament to their commitment to embracing cutting-edge solutions that foster significant operational improvements. This collaboration highlights our ongoing expansion and dedication to bringing more health systems, along with GPOs, manufacturers, and distributors, into a unified network that sets new standards in healthcare operations."
