Leading the healthcare technology trends for 2013 are mobile devices. Hospitals benefit from technologies that allow physicians to do work on-the-go. McKesson understands this benefit and has a new solution in its Horizon Patient Folder™ product line that helps hospitals decrease deficient records.
Speed Up Deficiency Completion
This new technology provides doctors and hospitals a mobile advantage with the ability to complete documentation across wireless platforms, including iPhone®, iPad® and iPod touch® devices.
The mobile application includes robust functionality to sign and edit documents, help decrease deficiencies and view pertinent patient demographic data via the selected device. In addition, it uses badge-push notifications to alert users that deficiencies exist. Physicians have a quicker and more simplified way to see the number of pending deficiencies without logging into a computer.
Horizon Patient Folder Mobile Deficiency Completion™ also helps improve cash flow by enabling physicians to complete document deficiencies, such as missing signatures. Additional benefits may include:
Hospital Benefits:
- Potential decreases in DNFB and DNFC
- Potential reduction in AR days for better cash flow
- Innovative use of technology to help improve physician experience
- Promotes increase in admissions by attracting community physicians
- Highly-intuitive, highly-productive and no fee option for physicians to improve physician experience
Physician Benefits:
- Helps improve convenience of completing deficiencies
- Enhances communication of existing deficiencies through badge-push notifications
- Potential to provide additional clinical documentation through the completion of missing-text deficiencies

Security Features:

- All data transport is encrypted to ensure security of patient information
- Advanced administration features for Administrators to access real-time information

It’s the right time. It’s the right place.
