ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–McKesson today announced that its Horizon Clinicals® Advanced Orders Services team has achieved certification under the prestigious Service Capability & Performance (SCP) Professional Service Standard program.
McKesson’s Advanced Orders Services team achieved SCP Professional Service certification after an extensive audit. The SCP Professional Service Standard Program quantifies the effectiveness of customer service based upon a stringent set of performance standards and represents best practices in the industry. McKesson’s Advanced Orders Team provides implementation services for three integral components of the Horizon Clinicals solutions suite that address medication ordering and management — Horizon Expert Orders™, a clinical decision support/CPOE solution; Horizon Order Management™, an order routing and tracking application; and Horizon Meds Manager™, a pharmacy information system.
“Achieving SCP Certification demonstrates our commitment to helping our customers speed the time to value and make it easier and more cost-effective to adopt new solutions,” said Duncan James, group president, Health Systems Solutions, McKesson Provider Technologies. “From the technology delivery phase to ongoing customer support, our comprehensive services model is helping the nation’s healthcare system to leverage technology to improve the quality and safety of care delivery.”
SCP Certification is part of a suite of service capability and performance standards designed to improve the quality and effectiveness of technology service operations. A consortium of leading technology companies that included McKesson, along with the Association for Services Management International and Service Strategies Corporation, created the internationally recognized standards, which define best practices for delivering world-class technology service and support, quantify performance levels and establish a foundation to build on existing quality processes. Certification requires comprehensive audits and annual recertification to confirm that companies continue to meet the requirements of the program.
“McKesson is clearly committed to delivering the highest value services to their customers, as evidenced by their adoption of the Service Capability & Performance (SCP) Standards. The certification of the Advanced Orders team under the SCP Professional Service Standard confirms that commitment and validates the quality of the services they provide,” says Greg Coleman, vice president of Strategic Programs for Service Strategies. “The rigorous implementation methodology employed by McKesson is an example of industry best practice and ensures that customers can maximize their investment in the company’s products and services.”
McKesson has participated in the SCP program since 2000. Currently 20 McKesson support centers are now certified under the prestigious SCP program, handling nearly 70 percent of its healthcare information technology support calls. The company is among more than 200 leading technology support organizations around the world participating in the SCP program, including EMC Corporation, Lockheed Martin Incorporated, Rockwell Automation, Nokia and Sage Software, among others.
