On this week’s show, we talk with Jim Pesce, Executive Vice President and General Manager of McKesson’s Paragon group about what is going on with the Paragon Hospital Information System. I still need other vendors to give me a call so we can feature their products and what is going on with them. Jim asked me to pass along his phone number at the Paragon Corporate offices in Charlotte, NC so that our listeners can contact them with any questions. Their number is (704)549.7123.
PLEASE…I need you to get the information out to your vendors and have them contact me at spencer@itpodcast.org so we can set up a time to talk with them.

I have heard positive comments about Paragon from other sources. It sounds like they are operating with a degree of independence from McKesson. Having been on the receiving end of McKesson products and services for 10 plus years I wonder -
1. How well intergrated Paragon is with HPF, HMM, HMI and other McKesson products.
2. How long before the Paragon group is corrupted by the McKesson culture.
