Integrated Hospital Information System Improves Health Care


Many healthcare organizations are presently having difficulties when it comes to the integration and management of financial, operational, and clinical information. This is due to changing reimbursement models, increasing competition, and tightening of margins. The low patient care emphasis also contributes to the problem. Therefore, efficient hospital information system (HIS) is very much needed to control all of these issues.
 
With regards to this necessity, McKesson's Paragon® provides an information system with a common functionality, which can sustain integrated ancillary products and applications. It is a system that responds to budgetary and HIS requirements.

The Paragon HIS has also a complete integrated system for care management, clinical workflow, practice management, pharmacy automation, and medical supply management. All of these address the needs for a certified Electronic Health Record (EHR), safety of the patients, revenue cycle management, and a lot more.

McKesson invests $1 billion in R&D technology as part of its future initiatives, entitled Better Health 2020. This is for the purpose of utilizing information technology in health care strategically. Furthermore, this would be of great help for healthcare providers to achieve better business,  healthcare service, and connectivity. Also, it is a way of delivering better medical care to patients.
