Take Care of Business. Take Care of Patients.These are exciting and challenging times for hospitals. Healthcare has taken on a new prominence as baby boomers age and require more medical attention. A focus on integrated care means that hospitals, physicians and payers must collaborate more closely than ever before. Healthcare reform, decreasing reimbursements and financial penalties for preventable readmissions and hospital acquired conditions have injected a sense of urgency for physicians, nurses and ancillary staff to deliver the best care at every level. Patient safety is increasingly important. A comprehensive electronic health record (EHR) can form the basis for collaboration among providers and payers. With ARRA, the government has introduced substantial – incentives to encourage meaningful use of technology that supports safe, efficient, quality care. . Along with demands of ARRA, healthcare providers and payers also must meet regulatory requirements for changes to the ICD coding system, which will increase the number of medical procedure codes from about 16,000 to 155,000 code sets. No matter where you are in your quest to achieve meaningful use or to prepare for ANSI 5010/ICD-10, McKesson can provide the right mix of healthcare IT solutions and services to help you can meet these challenges while fulfilling the promise of your business: healing people.
