Global Healthcare Exchange plans to continue acquisition spree

LOUISVILLE — Global Healthcare Exchange LLC, software-as-a-service company providing logistics assistance to the health care industry, has inked an agreement to buy Pittsburgh-based supply-chain technology Prodigo Solutions Inc.

“Connecting Prodigo’s directed buying capabilities with GHX’s industry leading platform and collection of enriched and validated supply chain data, will allow health care providers to better identify opportunities to increase financial control, reduce supply chain costs, eliminate waste, and improve contract compliance,” Prodigo’s executive chairman and president Joseph Mayernik said in a prepared statement. “We are excited for the opportunity to create even greater impact for our joint customers and the broader industry.”
