The Challenge
The healthcare industry is undergoing a massive transition to a value-based reimbursement model, moving away from traditional fee-for-service models. This shift has created significant pressure to innovate and provide new solutions. McKesson saw this transition as an opportunity to modernize and integrate their existing solutions and create a new technology platform for enabling interoperability and sharing business intelligence among healthcare applications across the ecosystem.
About The Customer
McKesson is the largest healthcare services company in the United States, with over 70,000 employees and $190 billion in revenue. The company is consistently recognized as the No.1 Healthcare IT company in the United States. McKesson's technology division aims to transform healthcare through technology, executing thousands of critical operations that improve the businesses of their customers and the lives of countless patients. Their goal is to be pragmatic without sacrificing their ability to innovate.
The Solution
McKesson chose Apprenda’s cloud platform as the foundation for their next-generation healthcare platform, McKesson Intelligence Hub. This platform is designed to be a shared self-service technology platform that enables business intelligence and interoperability across traditionally siloed healthcare applications. McKesson needed a solution that could accelerate the development of new cloud-native microservices offerings while also allowing them to containerize their existing applications. Apprenda’s extensibility enabled McKesson to build the Intelligence Hub as a highly differentiated, healthcare industry-focused offering, leveraging critical cloud platform DNA to power new applications and microservices.
Operational Impact
  • Engineered using open industry communication standards like HL7® FHIR®, the Intelligence Hub helps customers integrate across McKesson’s application and services portfolio and other third-party environments.
  • Several McKesson solutions are already running on the Intelligence Hub, enabling the exchange of critical information and unifying business processes across payer, provider, and technical boundaries.
  • McKesson ClaimsXten, a solution for clinically-based claims auditing, is now powered by the Intelligence Hub, offering flexible rules creation and enabling payers to process each claim under the specific terms and conditions of each benefit plan.
Quantitative Benefit
  • ClaimsXten checks an estimated 60% of all commercial health insurance claims in the US.
  • Over half of the United States’ top 25 health plans, their providers, and nearly 100 million people benefit from faster and more accurate claims processing through ClaimsXten running on the McKesson Intelligence Hub.
