page provides:
• Ability to see exact or similar component matches • Opportunities to standardize • Access to detailed report comparisons With this feature, you can run a side-by-side
comparison of multiple procedure packs in Excel®, allowing you to identify similarities and differences between packs. For example, if you have two different orthopedic packs for two different doctors, you can run a report that will show you the side-by-side comparison of the pack’s contents, allowing you to identify potential cost savings and standardization opportunities. In addition to comparing your custom packs, you can also compare a custom pack to a Cardinal Health standard pack.
Side-by-side pack comparison is
available for your convenience.
