McKesson launches new workflow tool

McKesson has launched Paragon Clinician Hub, a web-based information presentation and workflow management solution to help physicians and other care providers better manage the mass of everyday patient information and clinical tasks.

The tool allows providers to view clinical and administrative information, document care, and place orders for patients. In addition, clinicians can securely access the system from anywhere, therefore increasing productivity.

"When we began the design process for Paragon Clinician Hub, our goal was to take a different approach compared with existing patient care solutions,” Chief Medical Officer for McKesson Michael Blackman said. “We know that all clinicians – physicians in particular – are deluged with information. They struggle to sift through it to find what they need to make a decision efficiently while not missing anything critical. Our design imperative was to provide the right information at the right point in clinical workflow, make it easy to see the data that is important, and act on that data with as few clicks as possible.”

Physicians at Holzer Health System in Gallipolis, Ohio, have have seen great results since implementing Paragon Clinician Hub.

“Since we went live with Paragon 13.0 we have received feedback from a large number of physicians and their impressions have been universally positive,” Holzer Chief Medical Information Officer Scott Davis said. “They really like the new provider-friendly user interface and the dramatic improvement in visibility of important clinical information.”
