As QuVa is the largest 503B Outsourcing company serving U.S. hospitals and health systems, the combination offers QuVa's customers unparalleled support harnessing data and insights through earlier detection and mitigation of drug shortages, and efficient formulary management review and peer health system benchmarking. Debt funding for the acquisition was provided by funds managed by Blue Owl Capital.

"QuVa is singularly focused on solving our customers' pharmacy concerns.  We recognize that improving patient safety and meaningful sustained expense reductions will deliver value creation for health system pharmacies.  The key to achieving this is through the combination of smart data analytics and high quality ready-to-administer medications," said Stuart Hinchen, QuVa co-founder and CEO. "As one of the largest purchasers of sterile generic medications from pharmaceutical companies in the country, our purchasing experiences will greatly enrich the predictive analytics of LogicStream's core drug shortage management solution. With over 3,000 hospitals and ambulatory clinics as our customers, LogicStream's clinical utilization product will be able to offer customers an opportunity to compare and benchmark their formulary guidelines and management activities with those of other health systems to understand best practices," added Lynn Eschenbacher, PharmD and Chief Pharmacy & Strategy Officer, and Mike Scouvart, Chief Commercial Officer.

LogicStream's solution leverages advanced AI models to meticulously analyze vast clinical datasets and provide deep and powerful insights into real-time drug utilization trends, emerging and existing drug shortages, diversion behavior, and patient outcomes to help health systems make informed and timely decisions, reduce costs and improve compliance and outcomes.

"We focus every day at the intersection of technology and healthcare and I believe this area has immense potential for improving patient outcomes while simultaneously driving clinical, financial and operational efficiencies," said Patrick Yoder, PharmD and Co-founder and CEO of LogicStream. "Innovation isn't just a buzzword, it's the lifeline that propels us forward to shape the future of healthcare delivery and transform pharmacy management and operations for years to come. My team and I are excited to join QuVa.  We are committed to the combination of the leading 503B pharmacy services platform coupled with intelligent insights gained from our models and software designed to drive real improvement and generate stronger health system financial sustainability for health system pharmacy partners."
