McKesson Corporation

McKesson Practice Care PCMH Services is a collaborative effort between McKesson Corporation and Practice Partner Research Network (PPRNet). McKesson’s Physician Practice Solutions, a business unit of McKesson Corporation (NSYE: MCK), develops and installs electronic health records, medical billing and scheduling systems. PPRNet is a practice based research network (PBRN) that strives to improve the quality of healthcare in its member practices and elsewhere in the US. The network is unique from other PBRNs in the sense that all of its members use McKesson’s EHR systems to capture their patient information. PPRNet has 3 primary aims: to translate research into practice; to empirically test theoretically sound quality improvement interventions; and to disseminate successful interventions to both member and non-member practices across the country. The network provides members with quarterly performance reports on nearly 100 clinical measures, conducts federally funded research projects involving our member practices, and hosts annual network meetings that allow members to discuss and share “best practice” approaches.
