Practice Partner Clinical and Administrative Tools

For Independent Physician Practices

The Practice Partner software systems from McKesson are a comprehensive set
of clinical and administrative tools that improve patient care while streamlining
practice management for independent medical practices.

The integrated solution includes:

• An EHR system — certified by the Certification Commission for Healthcare
  Information Technology (CCHIT)
• A sophisticated multi-clinic scheduler
• A comprehensive practice management system
  

Practice Partner Patient Records

The Practice Partner Patient Records solution provides a host of innovative tools
to improve both office and clinical efficiency, while helping to improve quality of
care. Practice Partner Patient Records allows practices to replace their paper charts
with a comprehensive feature set, which is coupled with a friendly and intuitive
interface and built-in security. This results in an EHR system that is powerful
enough for any office, yet easy-to-learn and easy-to-use.

Designed by physicians for physicians – and refined by a decade of feedback
from active users across the U.S. – Practice Partner Patient Records has been
meticulously designed to emulate all aspects of the paper-based chart, as well as
the normal work patterns of physicians.

And unlike other EHR systems, the only thing you need to do to get a complete
chart is enter a progress note (which can be entered by dictation, keyboard,
pen-based system or voice recognition). The result: a more complete, up-to-date chart
with a lot less work. Practice Partner Patient Records Release 9.4 is certifi ed and meets
CCHIT ambulatory EHR criteria for 2009.
