McKesson to Acquire Risk Management Company

By HospiMedica International staff writers
Posted on 05 Oct 2012
McKesson (San Francisco, CA, USA) reported that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire MedVentive (Waltham, MA, USA), a provider of population and risk management tools that fuel transparency in healthcare cost and quality. More...


MedVentive’s solutions will enhance McKesson’s capabilities and experience in supporting customers’ use of information technology (IT) to optimize clinical, financial, and operational performance and to coordinate care across settings and stakeholders--areas that are core to McKesson Technology Solutions’ Better Health 2020 strategy.

“More healthcare providers are beginning to assume risk as we move to value-based reimbursement,” said Pat Blake, executive vice president and group president of McKesson Technology Solutions. “Whether it’s for their employee population, a Medicare shared savings plan, or a defined disease state group, providers must understand the risk they are assuming. What providers really need--and McKesson’s solutions will help offer--is a true picture of the total cost of delivered care based on clinical documentation and claims data across all care settings.”

MedVentive’s solutions will be a strong complement to the McKesson Enterprise Intelligence suite of solutions, according to McKesson spokespersons, enabling providers to proactively manage the clinical health of at-risk patient populations by identifying holes in patient care and delivering actionable information to the physician and care team.
