SpendMend Trulla
07 October 22    |   Aurene Wilford and Jackson Tate
Pharmacy is the largest category of non-labor spend in healthcare and is one of the most complex areas of spend across any industry. Annually, there is considerable healthcare expenditure that is exacerbated by gaps in the pharmacy supply chain. Pharmacy buyers have limited tools to assist with ordering, costing health systems millions every year. Additionally, procuring medication at affordable prices is a concern for providers, pharmacies, and patients. This report offers an at-a-glance profile of Trulla, a pharmacy procurement software application aimed at helping pharmacy buyers select the most economic NDCs and suppliers, ultimately improving the drug-purchasing process.



Reducing Filters

Unlike sizing filters, reducing filters DO NOT recalculate scores based on the evaluations that meet these requirements. They narrow the list of solutions to show the vendors and solutions that can meet a specific need.

This data is based on interviews with a sample of the firms' recent clients. As a result, it is not necessarily comprehensive of all work a firm may do in this segment.

We require a minimum of 2 confirmations of a service performed in the last 3 years for a solution to qualify.
