Discover (DFS) and TYDEi to Digitize Healthcare Purchases
Read MoreHide Full Article
Discover Financial Services’ (DFS - Free Report) payments brand Discover Global Network recently joined forces with vendor management platform provider TYDEi Health to devise a solution for easing healthcare purchase payments.
Shares of Discover Financial lost 0.7% on Oct 5, replicating declines in the broader markets.
The platform of TYDEi serves as a connection point between hospitals and suppliers in respect of purchases conducted by hospitals. The healthcare purchasing process is made a hassle-free one as the platform shifts the procurement process to a block-chain enabled platform that minimizes costs and risks for hospitals.
The partnership with Discover Financial’s payments brand is expected to aid TYDEi’s payments platform in extending a seamless and secure digital payment facility to hospitals, which can also monitor payments made for supplies. All this is possible through the enhanced payment solutions of Discover Financial.
The ulterior motive of the recent tie-up lies in digitizing and easing payments in the healthcare industry that continues to grapple with headwinds stemming from the usage of manual paper checks within the purchasing process. Therefore, the partnership seems to be aptly timed in countering the wastage of time and inefficacies linked to healthcare invoicing through enhanced solutions. Also, the alliance is perfectly timed considering the widespread infusion of digitization into every sphere of life.
Management at the Lighthouse Surgery Center, one of the immediate beneficiaries of the recent collaboration that utilizes the TYDEi platform, believes that the partnership of TYDEi with Discover Global Network will greatly benefit its system and productivity. Subsequently, it might get relieved from its obsolete and tedious purchasing, supply chain and inventory management systems.
The latest initiative highlights Discover Financial’s concerted efforts to leverage its advanced payment solutions in penetrating an extensive healthcare payments sector. Apart from catering to the healthcare space, Discover Global Network reaches out to ease payments of various industries, such as transportation, higher education, government, insurance and gaming.
Partnerships like the one with TYDEi can only add to the strength of the Discover Global Network, which contains an extensive cardholder base of above 280. The network boasts more than 60 million merchant acceptance locations, and 1.8 million ATM and cash access sites. It also comprises Discover Network, Diners Club International, PULSE and a global alliance partner network, with a strength of more than 25.
Shares of Discover Financial have lost 11.5% in the past six months compared with the industry’s decline of 19.4%.
