Pharmaceutical costs

Containing pharmaceutical costs

Drug costs are projected to increase 5-7% in hospital settings and 7-9% in outpatient settings this year. Cardinal Health can help acute care facilities contain pharmacy costs. With over $600 million annual drug purchases under management, we track and provide best practice guidelines for the top five drug categories, including anti-infectives, which normally account for 20% or more of a hospital's total pharmaceutical spend. Moreover, we also offer the ability to track actual drug cost by DRG.
