New Library aggregates catalog information for community sharingATLANTA - July 30, 2014 - McKesson announced today the release of The Library, a single point of access for supply chain item information within McKesson Strategic Supply Sourcing™. The Library enhances Strategic Supply Sourcing, allowing organizations to load product data and share that content among community members and enterprise colleagues.
"The Library consolidates the number of places you need to search for both organization-specific and industry-wide supply chain product data, which can help save customers significant time and increase access to important product data," says Todd Tabel, vice president, Supply Chain Solutions, McKesson Technology Solutions. "This new technology delivers total visibility for supply chain decision-makers."
The Library aggregates supplier catalog data, enabling customers to search millions of items from multiple sources with a single search. With the Strategic Supply Sourcing Solution, users can easily find the right item at the lowest price without perusing individual distributor catalogs or web searching. The Library also provides a secure area to house an organization's personal product and contract information.
Empowering decision-makers, the Library-enhanced Strategic Supply Sourcing solution provides visibility of supply selection and processes throughout the entire hospital supply chain, bringing new efficiencies in spending, inventory oversight and workflow. Representing nearly half of a hospital's total operating expenses, the management of supplies, and consumables is being realized as a new and necessary opportunity for savings. The formulary-guided procurement solution from McKesson uses artificial intelligence to help hospitals stop spending leakage and drive optimal efficiency and workflow across the supply chain.
"Building on the established Strategic Supply Sourcing gains, The Library adds even greater productivity. It saves users from having to hunt down information in multiple locations, placing complete supply chain item information at their fingertips" says Tabel. "Strategic Supply Sourcing customers are getting the ideal supply item at the lowest cost for their organization."
McKesson Strategic Supply Sourcing and The Library will be featured at the upcoming AHRMM conference, Aug. 3-6, in Orlando, Booth #801. To learn more about how The Library enhances the McKesson Strategic Supply Sourcing Solution, visit our website.
