McKesson has received a patent for the technology at use in its McKesson Provider Manager and other network management products.
McKesson Provider Manager helps organizations simplify the management of provider networks. It also plays a key role in bringing together business rules and information flow into one single application.
This is the second time the United States Patent and Trademark Office has awarded McKesson with a patent. The first patent, issued earlier this year, was for McKesson's Provider Gateway solution, which facilitates fast and complicated provider searches.
