AWS and Bluesight have developed an AI-powered solution to help hospitals meet the complex requirements of the 340B program. The collaboration, described by Amazon Web Services as a joint effort, involves the creation of Prism Assistant for ControlCheck, a tool that enables pharmacies to connect with the system's data across multiple health systems.
Prism Assistant for ControlCheck has officially reached general availability and is now being used in 20 health systems, according to statements from AWS. This marks a significant expansion of Bluesight's product suite, which previously focused on 340B compliance through its Prism layer.
However, there remains a gap in the solution, with a multi-product agent for the 340B Group Purchasing Organisation (GPO) compliance program remaining under development. The 340B group is responsible for ensuring that hospitals and pharmacies comply with federal regulations related to dispensing controlled substances at reduced prices.
