Pharmacy Purchasing Oversight

Pharmacy purchasing is affected by multiple factors outside of a hospital’s control such as drug shortages, contracting changes, and purchasing agent behavior. Every year, shortages are the number one problem pharmacists are facing. Managing shortages while continuing to monitor your GPO compliance and trying to purchase drugs from your hospital’s preferred drug list can become complicated. CostCheck™ analyzes and interprets all of your data to provide you with a comprehensive dashboard for you to ensure compliance and optimize outcomes.

Customer Stories

Significant Overcharges on Non-Monitored Accounts

The Procurement team was challenged with the day-to-day of keeping up with all 50 of their accounts. Occasionally, they would have 15 wholesaler windows open trying to locate invoices and to remember which account they were looking at all while searching through email. CostCheck helped them to filter through items that may have been overlooked when they were doing orders.

Failure to Supply Utilization

When initially working through the value of FTS purchasing with Thomas Latuga PharmD, BCPS, Pharmacy Finance and 340B Coordinator, he had an ‘ah-ha’ moment when he realized that not only did they not have a workflow to ensure maximal FTS value, they weren’t even aware of the process that had to be followed in order to qualify for the credits! Tom was not receiving FTS credits because of the lack of submitting backorders on the contracted NDCs for calculation, and subsequent crediting, of the increased spend. They were leaving every FTS dollar unclaimed. CostCheck implementation provided them with a valuable opportunity to start receiving FTS credits as well as a workflow and tool for ensuring they were following the right process.
