Patient Safety

As the world’s largest supplier of health care information technology (health IT), McKesson offers comprehensive solutions designed to enhance patient safety at every touchpoint of the health care system.

Our bar-coding technology promotes the safe delivery of medicines from pharmacy robotic systems to bedside medication administration. This unique medication management process, saves lives and time, removes rework, and reduces human error and the resulting costs.

This is just the first step, however, on the path to ensure patient safety through greater use of technology. Digitizing the health care system through widespread adoption of health IT will improve the quality of care for all Americans.

Thousands of lives and millions of dollars can be saved in reduced health care spending through the rapid adoption of health IT. We continue to work with our government partners to make this dream a reality.
