Transaction Data Systems announced a strategic collaboration with Cardinal Health to integrate its Outcomes platform directly into the pharmacist workflow of the more than 18,000 community retail, chain, and grocery pharmacy locations that utilize its portfolio of solutions. Together with the Outcomes platform, pharmacies using one of TDS' pharmacy solutions will be able to seamlessly access opportunities to provide clinical care services for their patients, drive greater connectivity and streamline their workflow for greater operational efficiency. These services will enable patient access to convenient care and provide pharmacists with the ability to drive improved health outcomes through pharmacy interventions and medication therapy management, while accessing additional revenue streams through payer and pharma-sponsored programs. The collaboration brings together TDS' technology capabilities with Outcomes' growing digital ecosystem, which connects pharmacies, payers and pharmaceutical companies.

As a result of this collaboration, pharmacies will be able to maximize revenue, improve performance and provide patients greater access to care through the aggregation of clinical intervention opportunities and associated digital and IVR communications tools for immediate pharmacist to patient connection.
