Cencora Partners with WeInfuse to Bolster Infusion Strategy

Conshohocken, Pa. (March 20, 2024) – Cencora, a global healthcare company, today announced a strategic partnership with WeInfuse, an infusion software provider, to bolster its infusion strategies. As part of the partnership, Cencora provided funding to accelerate WeInfuse’s development of its home infusion and specialty pharmacy software capabilities.

Cencora’sinfusion strategy was launched in 2022 with the purpose of helping hospitals and health systems with site of care optimization and alternate infusion site services – underpinning the growing importance of employing site of care strategies to prevent potential care gaps. Each phase of Cencora’s end-to-end solution aims to help health systems deploy and operate a clinically focused, sustainable infusion program for patients.

Now paired with WeInfuse’s software, Cencora will further help customers confidently realize the benefit of an enterprise infusion strategy. Additionally, Cencora’s ordering system is integrated into WeInfuse’s software, adding management features that track inventory and offer analytics on infusion center operations.

“Since the pandemic, the importance of standing up alternative infusion sites, including in the home, has grown at an unprecedented rate,” said Matt Glucksmann, SVP & President, Health Systems and Government Services at Cencora. “These programs are oftentimes complex to manage and require the right partners to make them successful. Our partnership with WeInfuse further guarantees the success of Cencora’s infusion strategy solution by simplifying the infusion pharmacy workflow, ensuring continuity of care and optimizing healthcare costs.”

Welnfuse brings decades of hands-on experience in building and operating infusion centers and a deep passion for crafting solutions that reduce the complexities of site of care shifts. By using WeInfuse’s software, Cencora will empower its infusion provider customers to operate efficiently, decrease burnout, maximize profitability and help improve clinical outcomes. WeInfuse’s powerful, intuitive workflow features and robust reporting and analytics engine decrease confusion around the oftentimes complex infusion pharmacy process, giving operators more time to focus on patients.

“Having owned and operated a chain of successful infusion centers, we have experienced firsthand the unique challenges of the infusion industry, down to its complex medication delivery model, inefficient processes and staff burnout,” said WeInfuse CEO Bryan Johnson. “With rising demand from patients for healthcare delivery in the home, as well as increasing site of care complexities, our partnership ensures that Cencora can operate its end-to-end infusion pharmacy solution efficiently, improving clinical outcomes in the process.”

Cencora’s partnership with WeInfuse continues both organizations’ commitment to leadership and advocacy on behalf of home infusion providers across the United States. Both organizations are members of theNational Home Infusion Association (NHIA), and Johnson, in addition to sitting on the Board of the Infusion Access Foundation (IAF), NICA's nonprofit patient advocacy organization, co-founded the National Infusion Center Association (NICA)  with WeInfuse COO Reece Norris.
