To move healthcare forward, we knew we had to go back. We had to take an honest look at the current model and do more than simply re-examine, re-adjust, re-configure.
And we discovered that to help the business of healthcare evolve in a way that is beneficial to the industry, our clients and the people they care for, we’d have to deliver the future.
That means using our solutions to create entirely new connections between payers, providers and members, to change relationships to partnerships, and to help our clients lead the way to a future where better health at lower cost is not only possible but also sustainable.
At McKesson, we’re making better health happen right now, because it’s right for the future.
Clearing the way for healthcare reform and other pressing marketing demands isn’t easy. Healthcare organizations need to not only see the path forward but also begin the journey, confident that the foundation they’re building for today’s success will continue to serve them well in an indistinct future.

“As you start to get value and start to try to implement patient-centered medical homes and ACOs, the value is not going to be vertical. The value is going to be in the connection of the verticals,” said Emad Rizk, MD, during a keynote panel at this year’s World Health Care Congress. A recent article in Search Health IT summarizes Dr. Rizk’s perspective on how system-wide improvements in technology can lead to meaningful change. Read more.
In the May issue of American Health & Drug Benefits, A. Jacqueline Mitus, MD, and Laura Coughlin, RN, explain how actionable content can help healthcare organizations improve care. “Actionable content” is information that can automatically prompt the best decisions about care at the point in time when clinical decisions need to be made, can help. Their article elaborates on how these information frameworks and distribution can be applied to oncology specifically, as staying on top of advances in cancer-related information can be a challenge.

WHCC’s Mabel Jong sat down with McKesson Health Solutions medical director Dr. Doug Moeller to discuss the company’s recent partnership with the American Medical Association to bring greater transparency and clarity to molecular diagnostic testing. In this video, he describes what the partnership means to the industry. He also shares three important phases of understanding: first, what tests are being performed, and how do we track them; second, once we begin gathering this information, who can benefit most from the tests; and third, what clinical utility do the tests have, and how does that translate into appropriate pricing.
