FOR BETTER HEALTH
McKesson helps its
customers build healthier
organizations that
deliver better care to
patients in every setting.
McKesson Makes the Business
of Healthcare Run Better
Every day, our supply-chain and healthcare
information technology solutions keep
healthcare organizations operating
efficiently and cost-effectively so they can
direct more of their financial resources and
time to caring for patients.
Creating a United Network of
Community Oncologists
For community oncology practices,
McKesson provides improvements
in practice management, drug
management, claims management, and
group purchasing, along with better
coordinated oncology research, deep
clinical expertise and support, in-office
dispensing, Electronic Medical Record
(EMR) technology, patient portal
technologies, and better connectivity
with payers, manufacturers, hospitals
and other physicians. Through innovative
clinical, research, business and operational
solutions, facilitated by integrated
technology systems, we improve the
financial health of our customers and help
them provide quality care for patients.
McKesson Brings
Healthcare Together
McKesson makes better care possible
by connecting stakeholders, integrating
systems, streamlining processes and
improving information flow, which
reduces waste, improves safety and frees
healthcare providers to focus more fully
on patient care.
Building the Infrastructure for
Personalized Medicine
With our Advanced Diagnostics
Management (ADM) offering, we are
making the promise of personalized
medicine a reality. By combining our
industry-leading InterQual clinical
content with intelligent, Web-based
decision tools, ADM helps physicians
select the most effective tests for
their patients while enabling payers to
make coverage rules transparent so all
stakeholders understand which tests are
covered by a patient’s health plan.
McKesson Helps Deliver Better Care
As one of the largest providers of healthcare services and
information technology in North America, we work with
pharmacies, physician practices, hospitals and payers to reduce
medication errors, standardize care protocols, and provide
caregivers with the knowledge and tools they need to provide the
best possible care, every time.
Empowering Pharmacists to Spend More Time
Caring for Patients
McKesson’s partnership with more than 26,000 U.S. retail
pharmacy locations allows those pharmacists to get out from
behind the counter and spend more time counseling patients.
Our generics purchasing programs, managed-care services, and
pharmacy systems and automation solutions enable pharmacists
to overcome key business challenges, and our medication therapy
management, clinical counseling and adherence programs help
them to provide improved clinical support. The result is win-win:
enhanced business performance for our customers and better
outcomes for patients.
