With McKesson’s Revenue Management Solutions (RMS) group taking over patient billing, accounts receivable management, and reporting, the education and research institute gains a partner that understands the complexities of its business.

The agreement calls for McKesson to provide services for 160 of RPCI’s physicians, many of whom are engaged in ongoing clinical trials.

RPCI established stringent criteria for its review when evaluating new vendors. In addition to a detailed needs analysis, the evaluation included site visits to McKesson operations and data centers and the engagement of a third-party auditor.

McKesson’s solution encompasses web-based reporting, document imaging and sophisticated data interfacing that RPCI expects to translate into streamlined operations, increased productivity and enhanced financial performance.

Pat Leonard, senior vice president and general manager for McKesson’s RMS group, said: “During the selection process, we met with all levels of Roswell Park’s organization so we fully understood both the stakes and the expectations. We welcome the scrutiny that institutions of Roswell Park’s stature require. When given the opportunity, we have proven that we have the scale to manage complex academic medical businesses.”

Will RPCI benefit with McKesson's RMS?
