1. A system comprising:
- a network interface communicating with a non-transitory memory;
the memory communicating with a processor for identifying relationships;
the processor, when executing a computer program, performs operations comprising;
receiving, by the processor, a first data feed front a first supplier and a second data feed from a second supplier, wherein the first supplier and the second supplier comprise at least one of a supply chain management company, a healthcare provider, a drug supplier and a drug manufacturer, and wherein the first supplier data feed and the second supplier data feed are not associated with individual patient data;
transforming, by the processor, the first data feed into a first unique key comprising at least one of a package quantity identifier, a therapeutic class identifier, a clinical formulation identifier, an additional detail identifier, a package size equivalent identifier, and a unit dose identifier;
transforming, by the processor, the second data feed into a second unique key comprising at least one of the package quantity identifier, the therapeutic class identifier, the clinical formulation identifier, the additional detail identifier, the package size equivalent identifier, and the unit dose identifier;
analyzing, by the processor, the first unique key and the second unique key to determine a relationship between the first data feed and the second data feed;
determining, by the processor and based upon the relationship, a recommendation, wherein the recommendation is associated with at least one of a cost effectiveness of purchasing a drug product from different suppliers, a determination of a lowest cost per unit of the drug product, a manufacturer market share for the drug product, and a strategy for submitting a contract bid for the drug product; and
outputting, by the processor, data based at least partially on the relationship and the recommendation.

6. A computer-based method comprising:
-
receiving, by a computer for determining relationships, a first supplier data feed from a first supplier and a second supplier data feed from a second supplier, wherein the first supplier and the second supplier comprise at least one of a supply chain management company, a healthcare provider, a drug supplier and a drug manufacturer, and wherein the first supplier data feed and the second supplier data feed are not associated with individual patient data; transforming, by the computer, the first data feed into a first unique key comprising at least one of a package quantity identifier, a therapeutic class identifier, a clinical formulation identifier, an additional detail identifier, a package size equivalent identifier, and a unit dose identifier; transforming, by the computer, the second data feed into a second unique key comprising at least one of a package quantity identifier, a therapeutic class identifier, a clinical formulation identifier, an additional detail identifier, a package size equivalent identifier, and a unit dose identifier; analyzing, by the computer, the first unique key and the second unique key to determine a relationship between the first data feed and the second data feed; determining, by the computer and based upon the relationship, a recommendation, wherein the recommendation is associated with at least one of a cost effectiveness of purchasing a drug product from different suppliers, a determination of a lowest cost per unit of the drug product, a manufacturer market share for the drug product, and a strategy for submitting a contract bid for the drug product; and outputting, by the computer, output data based at least partially on the relationship and the recommendation. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14)

15. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, if executed by a computer for determining relationships, cause the computer to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving, by the computer, a first supplier data feed from a first supplier and a second supplier data feed from a second supplier, wherein the first supplier and the second supplier comprise at least one of a supply chain management company, a healthcare provider, a drug supplier and a drug manufacturer, and wherein the first supplier data feed and the second supplier data feed are not associated with individual patient data; transforming, by the computer, a first data feed into a first unique key comprising at least one of a package quantity identifier, a therapeutic class identifier, a clinical formulation identifier, an additional detail identifier, a package size equivalent identifier, and a unit dose identifier; transforming, by the computer, a second data feed into a second unique key comprising at least one of a package quantity identifier, a therapeutic class identifier, a clinical formulation identifier, an additional detail identifier, a package size equivalent identifier, and a unit dose identifier; analyzing, by the computer, the first unique key and the second unique key to determine a relationship between the first data feed and the second data feed; determining, by the computer and based upon the relationship, a recommendation, wherein the relationship is associated with at least one of a cost effectiveness of purchasing a drug product from different suppliers, a determination of a lowest cost per unit of the drug product, a manufacturer market share for the drug product, and a strategy for submitting a contract bid for the drug product; and outputting, by the computer, output data based at least partially on the relationship.
