“We are taking a proactive role in pharmaceutical decision support to provide support to our customers as they continue to manage rising drug expenses, supply chain volatility and continued drug shortages,” said Peter J. Siavelis, senior vice president and general manager of Health System and Provider Distribution & Services at Cardinal Health. “By utilizing Palantir’s platform, we are working to reshape the pharmaceutical supply chain with innovative processes, products and solutions to improve access to critical medications and streamline pharmacy inventory management.”
As hospitals balance increases in drug expenses due to the growth of specialty therapies and biosimilars, health systems are struggling to right-size pharmacy inventory together with constantly evolving payer formulary updates. Cardinal Health’s data-driven solution will mitigate some of these challenges by analyzing real-time clinical and purchasing data to effectively create a clinically-integrated supply chain for pharmaceuticals.
“Our partnership with Cardinal Health further shows our commitment to improve patient outcomes across the full healthcare value chain and Palantir’s ability to create resilience within the complex challenges of supply chain uncertainty,” said Palantir chief operating officer Shyam Sankar. “We’re excited to work with Cardinal Health to achieve their mission-critical objective of expanding access to the medications patients need, by utilizing the software built to handle the toughest problems.”
