Pharmaceutical Contracting: From Volume to Value

White Paper Authored by Robert Blank, Revenue Management Team

The evolution towards this model is accelerating as patients, healthcare providers and payers realize its many benefits.

In turn, patients receive a higher quality of care at a better value.
