NEW YORK; Feb. 21, 2017 – Accenture (NYSE: ACN) has launched the Intelligent Patient Service Exchange, a digital marketplace of third-party technology solutions available to life sciences companies to enhance patient support and improve the overall patient treatment experience.

The Intelligent Patient Service Exchange removes the time and cost needed to develop custom, digital patient-centric solutions by offering pre-built, plug-and-play technology connections that enable life sciences companies to integrate patient services more quickly and at a lower cost than previously possible.
