Optimizing care management

McKesson understands that your mission is doing what is best for your patients, providing the right care at the right time in the right setting and for the right cost. 

Today, more organizations – payors and providers, public and private – rely on InterQual® than on any other evidence-based clinical decision support to make the most appropriate care management decisions.

Why InterQual? In the end, all the reasons come down to the same thing: InterQual’s ability to help you improve quality and efficiency. In addition, our customers take comfort and confidence in knowing that InterQual is the most widely used evidence based decision support in the industry. We’re proud of that wide adoption, especially because it fosters alignment between payors and providers and focuses all stakeholders on ensuring consistent, clinically appropriate care decisions.

We continually enhance InterQual content and technology to meet the needs of our customers and the ever-changing market. For example,

• When CMS called for Quality Indicators, we were first to implement them; today, we’re focusing our customers on our Transition Planning, another important quality initiative.
  
  
• Last year we introduced - and we’ve continued to add to - the most comprehensive set of molecular diagnostics criteria to provide the information you need to manage the complex medical appropriateness decisions associated with these rapidly growing and high cost molecular and genetic diagnostic tests.
  
  
• Responding to market demand for InterQual content that could be consumed in a variety of systems, this year we are introducing InterQual Coordinated Care Content, an XML-only offering.
  
  
• On the technology front, we’ve recently added a range of innovative capabilities, including auto authorization to automate the entire authorization process, reducing cost, saving time and improving care.
