Halton Healthcare Transitions to Mohawk Medbuy’s Growing Pharmacy Services Program
Mohawk Medbuy Corporation (MMC) is pleased to welcome Halton Healthcare to our comprehensive Pharmacy Services program. MMC continues to experience significant growth, as more organizations from across health care and other public sectors benefit from the value, innovation and insight offered by our not-for-profit, shared services model.
Halton Healthcare has been leveraging MMC’s value-based supply chain solutions for medical/surgical products and capital equipment for several years. With this announcement, Halton Healthcare is expanding the use of MMC’s industry-leading services to its pharmacies.
“We’re happy to be growing our partnership with Halton Healthcare,” said Ally Dhalla, MMC’s Senior Vice President, Pharmacy and Clinical Services and Innovation. “MMC’s integrated Pharmacy Services program offers some of Canada’s largest contract volumes – backed by our advanced analytics and deep understanding of the hospital environment. Our innovative, end-to-end solutions will support Halton Healthcare’s pharmacies as they continue to deliver exceptional patient care.”
One of these solutions, MitigAID, helps hospitals minimize risk to patients during manufacturer supply disruptions of essential medical supplies and pharmaceuticals. This program harnesses MMC’s robust data insights and provides centralized communication and substitute product information to allow hospital staff to navigate backorders, recalls and discontinuations more efficiently – freeing up valuable staff time for frontline patient care priorities.
“We are excited about expanding our partnership with Mohawk Medbuy to include drug procurement,” said Hilary Rodrigues, Senior Vice President Corporate Services, Performance & Chief Financial Officer, Halton Healthcare. “MMC’s expertise and innovative support will help Halton Healthcare with drug supply chain management.”
