The challenge: simplify a complex rebate structure
Imagine keeping track of as many as 40 rebate programs and their utilization across three hospitals—not to mention an entire healthcare system with multiple sites across a wide area. This was the challenge facing St. Francis Care. “It was cumbersome, and I was always running rebate information down, site by site,” said Dave Walsh, Administrative Director—Supply Chain.
St. Francis Care needed a simpler, more efficient way to manage its many rebate programs. And that’s where the Preferred Rebate Program from Cardinal Health stepped in.

The Challenge: Maximize results with minimum resources
With all you have to do already, how can you find the time to maximize the value of your rebate program? And more importantly, how much money are you leaving on the table when you don’t? “We tried to maximize our rebates on our own,” said Lisa Steyer, Value Analysis Manager for The University of Kansas Hospital. “But we didn’t have the resources to do it effectively.”
Solution: Simplify the rebate program
