Healthcare information systems firm McKesson has won a contract for its Paragon hospital information system with a Northern California medical center.
Rideout Health plans to use Paragon in an expanded Rideout Regional Medical Center set to open in 2015, according to McKesson.
McKesson's partnership with Rideout Health is an example of the company's Better Health 2020 strategy, which aims to help customers address the complex challenges facing healthcare, including the need to reduce costs, coordinate care, assume risk, and manage complex payment models, McKesson said.
