Ensuring the appropriate application of contracts at the pharmacy wholesaler can be extremely challenging for health systems, wholesalers, manufacturers, and group purchasing organizations (GPO) alike.  To complicate matters, prices can vary based off class of trade or 340B eligibility.   Baptist Health is the first health system to join others in the pharmaceutical supply chain on the Mediledger blockchain network.  This platform will allow for mutually trusted data to be transparently shared on a distributed network, moving away from the antiquated standard of EDI and email communications and towards a more collaborative, automated, and efficient process.
