Ohio hospital deploys McKesson's Paragon HIS

Community Hospitals and Wellness Centers (CHWC), a three-facility system based in Bryan, Ohio, has gone live with McKesson’s Paragon financial and clinical system.

CHWC plans to use the software to help the hospital improve clinical care and patient safety as well as revenue cycle management and financial outcomes, according to the Atlanta-based McKesson.

The healthcare IT system makes patient information – including medical imaging, nursing and ancillary documentation – available electronically, the company added.
