February 16, 2021

Virtustream, an enterprise-class cloud company and a Dell Technologies business, announced today that XiFin Pharmacy Solutions, a Dallas-based healthcare technology company, is using Virtustream Enterprise Cloud and xStreamCare Services™ to ensure its software solutions for pharmacies across the U.S. provide high-availability and can easily and quickly scale to meet the rising demands of managing the distribution and dispensing of the nation’s massive Covid-19 vaccination efforts.

XiFin Pharmacy Solutions Supports Half of the Retail Pharmacies in the United States

Over the past decade, the role of the community pharmacist has evolved from solely dispensing medications to also providing basic clinical and preventative care services such as, immunizations, point-of-care testing and counseling for chronic conditions like diabetes. With more than 60,000 retail locations nationwide, pharmacies provide communities with convenient access to affordable and quality care. XiFin Pharmacy Solutions, a leading provider of technology solutions for retail pharmacy, supports medical claims processing for over half the pharmacies in the nation today. This includes the billing of immunizations and point of care testing for COVID-19. When the pandemic hit, demand for immunizations and point-of-care testing skyrocketed and local pharmacies stepped up to address the need; as did XiFin Pharmacy Solutions, who quickly and easily scaled its IT capacity to support record-setting claim volumes.

Critical to XiFin Pharmacy Solutions business model is the ability to quickly align and scale its processing requirements with market changes brought about by seasonal illnesses, such as the flu, and historic events like the COVID-19 pandemic. With the company experiencing unprecedented demands on its software as a result of both the COVID-19 vaccine and the increased volume of other clinical services in the pharmacy setting, the firm looked to its trusted IT partners for expanded support.
