Because as much as 45% of a hospital’s total operating expenses can go to supplies, drugs and consumables, it is critical to implement effective supply chain management solutions that help you better manage processes and supply selection and use throughout the supply chain.

Only McKesson offers a comprehensive, consolidated approach to resource management that allows you to correlate your financial and clinical outcomes, to understand your true profitability and patient success. Our offering integrates traditional enterprise resource planning (ERP) applications—financials, materials, HR/Payroll—with other mission-critical areas such as scheduling, point of use, surgical services and enterprise wide analytics. You’ll improve the day-to-day operational needs of your individual departments, while also gaining enterprise-wide efficiencies and information.

McKesson’s supply chain management solutions streamline workflow and improve performance management, significantly reducing operating expenses through increased product standardization, more informed purchasing, tighter inventory management and an organization-wide view of your total supply spend. Armed with this critical information, materials managers can maximize contract and rebate attainment, conduct enterprise wide business modeling and work hand-in-hand with physicians to uncover further standardization opportunities.

Our supply chain management solutions help you improve patient outcomes by ensuring continuity in care. They ensure the right products get delivered at the right time and for the right price. And they help maximize your service lines by improving charge capture and helping you determine profitability and outcomes by individual service line.
