Confidence for HRSA Audits Inspired by Right 340B Tools

KLAS report examines provider views of 340B management systems.

2014-03-18

OREM, UT, March 18, 2014 (Press-News.org) Providers report that robust reporting capabilities, staff knowledge and system automation are three of the main factors that inspire confidence for HRSA audits. This and other key findings were released in the latest KLAS report, entitled 340B Management Systems: Relieving the Audit Pressure.

"The 340B systems that inspire the most confidence are the ones that require the least maintenance but still tell you what you want to know," said report author Adam Cherrington. "It is a lot like insurance--you want the best, but you don't want to spend a great deal of time thinking about it."

As part of this study, KLAS interviewed 120 providers about their 340B management software. Providers gave feedback on overall vendor performance, confidence in preparation for an audit and long-term plans. The 340B products compared in the report include those from ABTG, eAudit Solutions, Macro Helix, Sentry and Talyst.
