McKesson Helps Small Healthcare Providers with New Practice Choice EHR Software

Digital medical records is a field which promises strong growth as an increasing number of areas related to business move into the digital realm. This is true both in terms of data, such as hard copy records, and in terms of technology as storage moves toward hybrid, public and private clouds, as one example. A unified medical records platform enables a hospital to gradually scale out for growth as its healthcare needs grow. It also en­ables immediate connectivity to medical services, such as SMEs and records for patient care, physician diagnoses and prescriptions to data location and medical device tagging.

In the vanguard of this move to digitized medical records, McKesson Practice Choice is the latest technology innovation that enables medical professionals to more accurately track office activity, create daily reports on claims, and streamline the check-in process.  McKesson’s Practice Care program is well-known for providing a number of helpful services for patients. such as medical home consulting, online collection tools, automated reminder services, updating medical and office supplies, and quality improvement reports.

The company is known for its medical-based solutions that help practices run more efficiently and which use a wide variety of EHR solutions such as Medisoft. These medical charts are used by more than 125,000 providers across the country. Due to McKeson’s established relationship with the healthcare system in the U.S., and its experi­ence in the healthcare industry, it was able to create software that meets the needs of smaller practices. The agility and creativity of the McKesson Practice Choice gives users one-button access to all office-related system areas, including scheduling and billing.

It also means that the McKeeson software enables small practices to realize a substantial ROI faster than most other solutions. According to Harry Selent, president of MedicalCharting dot com, “McKesson Practice Choice EHR is all about providing a solution to small practice doctors who do not want to invest in server IT infrastructure, and who want an easy to use, affordable online medical records solution that uses the latest in software technology. Doctors didn’t go to medical school to learn how to install and manage servers, they want a push button solution from an industry leader like McKesson.”

In addition, the program’s integration with Provider Friendly Terminology from Health Language eliminates the need for providers to memorize complex bill codes.  Physicians will not have to constantly review and learn new billing codes and the software will allow doctors to use common terminology instead of complex Latin or other complex words. Over the years, McKeeson has helped hundreds of practices move into the digital age by introducing them to the latest medical software technology and it has developed a time-tested approach to helping small providers manage.
