Wisconsin network connects enterprise with McKesson

McKesson has signed an agreement with ProHealth Care, a multi-facility system and provider of health services in Wisconsin, to replace multiple modality-based software applications with McKesson’s technologies for enterprise-wide medical imaging.

ProHealth is installing McKesson’s medical imaging technology at its acute-care and tertiary-care hospitals, as well as its primary and specialty care clinics. The new PACS, cardiovascular information system and online case collaboration technology will provide ProHealth's imaging professionals with tools that will be integrated to ProHealth’s other IT systems, stated the San Francisco-based McKesson.
