OptiFreight Logistics, a Cardinal Health company, announced the launch of TotalVue™ Analytics - a tool for healthcare supply chain leaders to utilize predictive technology and data to identify logistics savings and benchmarking. Leveraging the scale of Cardinal Health, TotalVue™ Analytics provides health systems with visibility into shipping trends to identify opportunities to reduce freight costs, including inbound shipments from suppliers or outbound shipments from sites of care. With TotalVue™ Analytics, users can monitor comprehensive performance of a logistics management program, including how small changes in shipping decisions can create continued savings. For example, TotalVue™ Analytics can identify cost savings opportunities such as a supplier that is shipping too many packages overnight, or a location that is not using the program to get shipping discounts. By reviewing consistent data points, health systems can set measurable goals and track performance. Management of shipping spend across the health system is essential to identify maximum efficiencies, and visibility into critical logistics management metrics, which creates material cost savings. Several customers participated in a pilot launch of TotalVue™ Analytics, including Mike Halmrast, senior director of contracting at Banner Health, a non-profit health system based in Phoenix that operates 28 hospitals and several specialized facilities across six states. According to Halmrast, the more inbound, outbound and large freight shipments the health system has under management, the more dollars it can save to spend on patient care.
