    Heath care IT vendor McKesson is offering zero-percent financing for 12 months to help physician practices make the move now to take advantage of the economic stimulus package provisions for electronic health records (EHR).

    The offer follows a collaboration announcement from McKesson and HP to offer prebundled packages of EHR and other software together with HP computers through channel partners to physician practices and hospitals. HP also announced the extension of a zero-percent financing program this week.

    The McKesson offer allows physicians to choose from two options on selected EHR/practice management solutions—zero percent interest for 12 months with a 25 percent down payment, or a $1,000 cash rebate for the first provider with a $500 cash rebate for each additional provider in a practice.

    The new program applies to McKesson’s EHR/practice management solutions for independent community physicians, including Practice Partner, Lytec MD and Medisoft Clinical solutions. McKesson said all solutions feature Bright Note Technology, which enables physicians to use their preferred method of charting to capture data in a single note and then synchronize that across the entire patient chart.

    The zero-percent financing program will be offered both directly to McKesson customers and also through McKesson’s network of EHR-certified VARs.

    “McKesson is making an investment in the success of physician practices,” said David Henriksen, senior vice president of McKesson’s Physician Practice Solutions group, in a prepared statement. “From the underserved to the well-established, our goal is to provide a cost-effective way for community physicians to more easily acquire EHRs. Ultimately, we believe that will result in a safer, more efficient and more connected health care experience for all of us.”
