Today GHX launched the next generation of its flagship trading healthcare supply chain exchange, the GHX Global Exchange. The new platform delivers the most sophisticated e-commerce exchange available in healthcare. GHX redesigned the platform to make improvements in security, scalability, reliability, transparency that will support the industry’s growth through 2020 and beyond.
The transition of the GHX Global Exchange from software-as-as-service to a global cloud service is significant for GHX and the industry. With a cloud-based architecture, reliability is exponentially greater. Trading partners can have confidence that their data is not only secure, but also available from anywhere, at all times. The new platform is massively scalable, no longer taking supply chain specialists weeks or months to increase capacity. And as part of this new design, GHX built security into the system from the ground up, ensuring enhanced data security, at a time when breaches are reported regularly and federal mandates for the protection of personal health information continue to take precedence.
The new GHX Global Exchange includes:
Advanced Security
