Enterprise Strategy
Forward-looking strategy for any system.
We're prepared to meet the enterprise needs of any pharmacy. Our team's experience across the pharmaceutical industry, the depth of the AmerisourceBergen network and our specialized focus on the complexities of health systems ensure we have the knowledge, resources and capabilities to scale to your needs. We'll study your internal and external services and systems to determine areas for consolidation and standardization to drive the best possible outcomes, both clinical and financial.
Strategic systems planning
The first step to maximizing your profitability is leveraging the most out of what you have. We'll assess your people, systems and processes to find cost savings and synergies to streamline your operations.
Enterprise services
Unit dose optimization and repackaging
We evaluate system-wide formularies to optimize savings through unit-dose product standardization or understanding the "make or buy" sourcing decisions to determine if a product should be packaged centrally and distributed throughout the system.
Employee mail order and centralized fulfillment
Mail order pharmacy programs represent a significant savings opportunity for health system pharmacies and are a major convenience for employees and their families. We can assist in setting up a comprehensive, in-sourced service that reduces system expenditures while providing value and satisfaction to your workforce. In addition, through leveraging the mail order staff and technology, a health system can provide refill, central-fill support to health system-owned ambulatory pharmacies that are near capacity.
Procurement optimization and buyer controls
We study your organization for site-specific best prices, contract opportunities and programs. We'll help optimize sourcing, standardize contract compliance and product selection to ensure your purchasing practices are as efficient and effective as possible. We provide real-time purchasing decision support processes and product selection tools with guard rails to achieve your performance targets.
High-value drug management
High-value drugs can be significant drivers of cost and areas of major growth. We'll evaluate opportunities to centralize through innovative models such as virtual consolidation that minimize unnecessary and costly levels of drug inventories throughout the system.
Inventory management optimization
We evaluate all systems (e.g., carousels, cabinets, etc.) and processes to identify opportunities to streamline the development and maintenance of par levels and optimize the ordering processes.
Alternate site replenishment
We identify opportunities to implement a hub-and-spoke replenishment model for alternate sites such as clinics and infusion centers through a consolidated, low-unit-of-measure replenishment model to optimize contract compliance, inventory on hand and logistics.
