Take Better Care of Patients and Your Business


Physicians, nurses, ancillary staff and executives feel a sense of urgency to deliver the best patient care at every level. Healthcare reform, decreasing reimbursements and increased regulatory complexity are pressuring care delivery and coordination, with a renewed push to ensure patient safety while managing patient populations.

McKesson has developed a robust mix of healthcare IT, patient care, financial performance and connectivity solutions and services to meet the challenges your organization faces in navigating the fast-changing healthcare landscape.

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 and quality care. Along with demands of ARRA, healthcare providers and payers also must meet regulatory requirements for changes to the ICD coding system.

No matter where your organization is on the path to achieve meaningful use or to prepare for ANSI 5010/ICD-10, McKesson is with you every step of the way.
