By: Craneware Better Manage Drug Costs Enhancements to Pharmacy ChargeLink enable provider organizations to achieve improved cost management and pricing transparency ATLANTA, December 5, 2016 (ASHP Booth #1422) – With the variability and ever-rising cost of pharmaceuticals, forward-thinking hospitals and health systems are leveraging technology to track and manage drug prices for optimal reimbursement. To further meet this growing need as well as provide more transparency in today's consumer-driven healthcare environment, Craneware, Inc., the healthcare market leader in automated value cycle solutions, today announced enhancements to its Pharmacy ChargeLink® solution. These enhancements will enable users to: - Analyze cost reconciliation based on margin impact - Manage drugs costs to evaluate annualized impacts for leading HIS system formularies - Evaluate purchase dispense cost compared to formulary dispense cost to more effectively manage cost variances - Compare multiple cost benchmarks against changing drug costs to measure financial impact - Monitor drugs purchased through GPO, WAC or 340B "Because medication costs encompass the majority of our of health system's budget and drug prices continue to increase faster than other healthcare expenditures, drug costs are a constant target for cost containment initiatives," Pharmacy ChargeLink automatically validates all pharmacy data, giving stakeholder departments a shared platform to ensure administered medications are accurately coded, billed, and reimbursed at an optimal level. By continuously updating and synching purchase history, formulary, chargemaster and regulatory reference information, Pharmacy ChargeLink helps hospitals and health systems address revenue gaps, and ensure optimal reimbursement and compliance.
