McKesson pitches to smaller hospitals
NEWS IN BRIEF — Posted Feb. 27, 2006
McKesson Corp. on Feb. 6 launched an initiative to make clinical information systems more affordable for rural and community hospitals. The initiative -- Community Care Program --offers hospitals that want to implement clinical information systems, including electronic medical records and filmless radiology systems, more flexible financing arrangements and the ability to spread costs over time instead of having to pay their capital expenditure costs upfront, said Paul Adams, a McKesson spokesman. McKesson, San Francisco, sells information systems to hospitals and medical groups.
