Inventory Management

A large health system gains
valuable insights into pharmacy
inventory management with
supply-chain intelligence software.
CASE STUDY
www.supplylogix.com
PRIMARY INTENDED OUTCOME
Hospitals and health care systems in the United States handle more than
35 million patients each year. These large operations are fnding that the cost
savings associated with efective pharmacy supply-chain management can
have a big impact on the bottom line, as well as on patient care.
Supplylogix ofers a suite of software products that enables pharmacies to gain
competitive advantages. Pharmacies can leverage Supplylogix's supply-chain
tools to optimize their inventory replenishment, manage potential losses from
unsaleable returns, and monitor their product movement.
THE CHALLENGE
UW Health, an integrated health system associated with the University of
Wisconsin-Madison, serves 600,000 patients each year in the Upper Midwest
region of the country. With six hospitals and 15 dispensing sites, UW Health
processes upwards of 44,000 prescriptions per month. A large portion of their
services is related to specialty pharmacy items, including diabetes, transplant,
and HIV care, making their inventory costs exceptionally high compared to
standard retail pharmacy.

The PVP Provides
Transparency in
the 340B Drug
Marketplace
by Apexus
CASE STUDY
www.340bpvp.com
The 340B drug pricing world can be difcult to understand. It’s easy to get lost
between the requirements and needs of the many diferent 340B stakeholders:
manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, state Medicaid programs, and all of the
qualifying unique safety net provider types. Transparency is especially important in the
health care industry, particularly in complex programs like 340B.
What are the 340B Drug Pricing Program and the 340B Prime
Vendor Program?
The 340B Drug Discount Program is a federal drug pricing program that allows
qualifed health centers and hospitals to purchase outpatient drugs at deeply
discounted prices. The intent is for these health care providers to reinvest the savings
into programs that beneft the very communities they serve.
The 340B statute requires a Prime Vendor Program (PVP). The PVP acts as an
intermediary through which covered entities may enter into contracts for the
distribution of drugs and also provides additional valuable services to covered entities.
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) administers the 340B Drug
Pricing Program through its Ofce of Pharmacy Afairs. Apexus is in its third fve-year
contract term with HRSA. Since 2004, Apexus has served as the federal 340B Prime
Vendor, providing nearly 40,000 covered entities with discounts on drug distribution
services, branded and generic medications, vaccines, women’s health products, and
diabetic supplies. In that time, Apexus has generated $5.5 billion in value to PVP
participants.
Since HRSA frst implemented the PVP in 1999, it has awarded the PVP contract to a
prime vendor. The utility of a prime vendor for administrative simplicity, negotiating
