PrefConnect

PrefConnect is a healthcare software company focused on surgical preference card management for hospitals and operating rooms. Its cloud-based platform uses a proprietary algorithm and actual procedure supply-use data to help health systems continuously update preference cards, reduce unused supplies, improve inventory decisions, and streamline perioperative workflows. The product is positioned as an operational and supply-chain optimization tool rather than a drug-development business. PrefConnect was founded in 2017 and was acquired by Medline Industries in October 2023 after Medline had served as its exclusive distributor for roughly five years. The solution has been used by hospitals in the United States and is now part of Medline's perioperative offering.
