The core mission of healthcare technology is to bring simplicity and safety to patients, providers, and staff. Yet in the realm of compliance, the landscape grows increasingly complex. Compliance workflows including those for diversion surveillance, patient privacy monitoring, and 340B program management are resource intensive for hospitals, health systems, and healthcare facilities – and are marked by ever-changing regulations from boards of pharmacy, DEA, OCR, and HRSA. It’s time to rethink how we approach these challenges, not with fragmented tools but with a unified platform designed for today’s healthcare realities.
As we look to the future of healthcare compliance, solutions will act more as operating systems that expand across the continuum of care, automate additional workflows, and offer value beyond software.
- Holistic operating systems: While point solutions solve individual problems, an operating system will consolidate data, workflows, and insights into a single platform.
- Integration across care settings: As care shifts beyond hospital walls to outpatient clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and even home-based care, compliance tools will expand across more settings.
- Automation to handle complexity: Hospitals generate millions of auditable events each month but review only a fraction due to resource constraints.
- Community collaboration: Compliance is fundamentally human – it’s about trust, safety, and culture – which emphasizes the importance of facilitating knowledge sharing beyond using technology.
These product goals drive Bluesight’s innovation strategy. We look to advance hospital and pharmacy operations through bold innovation and collaboration. We identified and established new categories in the market when we built KitCheck, ControlCheck, and CostCheck, and we continue to evolve with the needs of the industry. Thoughtfully collaborating with other industry experts has been key to delivering more value to hospitals and healthcare facilities, as evidenced by our strategic acquisitions and integrations. In 2023, we acquired Medacist, bringing additional expertise and resources to advance next-generation diversion monitoring. Building on ControlCheck’s comprehensive foundation, we collaborated to release several new capabilities, such as retail pharmacy coverage, to transform diversion monitoring workflows for health systems.
Similarly, our acquisition of Sectyr strengthened our 340B compliance offerings, ensuring healthcare sites can adapt to changing regulatory landscapes. More recently, our integration with Protenus marked a major milestone. By merging Bluesight’s innovation-driven approach with the expertise of the Protenus team, we are expanding beyond the hospital pharmacy to build a comprehensive operating system for broader healthcare operations and compliance – not just isolated point solutions. At the core of this growth is the act of honoring our customers every day by listening to their needs and creating the tools to solve their most important challenges.
Market integration in healthcare technology isn’t just about scale. It’s about delivering better solutions, faster. It isn’t just innovation for its own sake, but rather solving real pain points for care sites across the country. By embracing integration and growth, the compliance operating systems of the future will empower hospitals, health systems, and other healthcare facilities to achieve more with fewer resources.
