Pennsylvania health system chooses McKesson Horizon clinical solution

Saint Vincent Health System in Erie, Pa., has chosen to upgrade and extend its current clinical systems with McKesson’s Horizon Clinicals Care Team Release.

The companies said that both hospitals in the system, Saint Vincent Health Center and Westfield Hospital, will upgrade their electronic patient record storage technology to McKesson’s Horizon Patient Folder document imaging solution.

Plans also call for the implementation of Horizon Patient Folder Analytics, which will provide a dashboard illustrating business process in the health information management department, according to McKesson.
