    Appalachian Regional Healthcare (ARH), Lexington, Ky., will deploy San Francisco-based McKesson's Horizon Ambulatory Care electronic health record

    Appalachian Regional Healthcare (ARH), Lexington, Ky., will deploy San Francisco-based McKesson's Horizon Ambulatory Care electronic health record (EHR) system in rural communities across eastern Kentucky and West Virginia.

    According to McKesson, ARH will use Atlanta-based RelayHealth's network to connect physicians with patients, the hospital, other physicians, and pharmacies.
