McKesson Horizon Clinical Information System Upgrade Status

On the weekend of March 2, WellStar Information Technology successfully upgraded many of our McKesson Horizon Clinical Information System applications and servers. Planning for the upgrade began over a year ago and will improve patient care and safety while placing our critical clinical applications on more reliable infrastructure.

Overall, this has been a successful implementation with team members feeling well-trained in advance of the go-live and good communication passing between Information Technology and the hospitals. Clinicians are pleased with system speed and availability.

This upgrade was the result of months of hard work on the part of a large and diverse team of resources from McKesson, WellStar Information Technology and Organizational Learning Departments and clinicians from across our entire System. Thank you for the team’s efforts and dedication to improving patient care.
