The Middlesex Hospital Alliance Signs on to MMC’s Pharmacy Services
Mohawk Medbuy (MMC) is pleased to welcome the Middlesex Hospital Alliance (MHA) to our Pharmacy Services. The acute care provider is part of the growing number of Canadian organizations adopting MMC’s not-for-profit, shared services structure to help optimize cost savings and operational efficiencies.
The MHA operates 66 beds across two community hospital sites, providing comprehensive care for patients in four Southwestern Ontario counties. Through this agreement, the MHA will benefit from MMC’s large-scale purchasing power and advanced analytics to optimize its pharmaceutical supply chain.
“We look forward to leveraging MMC’s comprehensive services to support our Pharmacy operations,” said Krista Shea, the MHA’s VP of Clinical Services and Chief Nursing Officer. “Our agreement with MMC helps us deliver on our commitment to patient-centered care through a partnership that will provide the MHA with the scale, tools and data to navigate the unique challenges of the hospital Pharmacy environment.”
MMC’s analytics also power MitigAID, an industry-leading program that reduces patient risk during manufacturer supply disruptions and automates reimbursement of the incremental cost of alternative products – saving time and administrative effort. Combined with MaaTRx, an AI-driven platform that can predict drug shortages in real time, hospitals benefit from proactive tools that help manage risk and maintain continuity of care for patients.
“We’re excited to support MHA with our sourcing expertise and data-driven solutions,” said Ally Dhalla, MMC’s Senior Vice President, Pharmacy, Innovation, Government and Clinical Services. “Together, we’ll help ensure a resilient and efficient Pharmacy supply chain.”
