The medical center will deploy McKesson Practice Complete, a bundled solution providing RMS services including patient billing, accounts receivable management and reporting, Horizon Practice Plus practice management software, and RelayHealth payor connectivity services. According to the company, St. Joseph hopes to use McKesson’s reporting capabilities to enable managers at both the local and corporate level to use data obtained from patient encounters to develop benchmarks for practice performance.
