Access the clinical information you need when and where you need it with the new InterQual Mobile app
InterQual Mobile, the first mobile version of McKesson's InterQual content, is now available at no additional cost. Payers and providers can get anytime, anywhere access to InterQual Level of Care Criteria and InterQual Behavioral Health Criteria via iOS (Apple®) or Android smartphones or tablets.

InterQual 2014 release raises the bar for evidence-based clinical content at the point of care
The launch of our new InterQual® Mobile app, enhanced automation and expanded and enhanced clinical content support payers' and providers' need for the efficient, collaborative workflows that value-based care requires.

Decision support is a key factor in implementing value-based reimbursement
More than two-thirds of payments are expected to be based on value measurement in five years, up from just one third today according to McKesson's new report, The 2014 State of Value-Based Reimbursement. One of the keys to being successful in that transition to value is having the right solutions in place, explains Medical Director David Nace, M.D., in his executive summary of the report.

New enhancements to the InterQual® Interrater Reliability (IRR) Suite!

In June, IRR launched 15 new tests, and now provides tests for all InterQual Level of Care Criteria products, as well as for a selection of InterQual Behavioral Health Criteria and InterQual Care Planning Criteria products. IRR is a robust online testing application that can help you achieve the maximum value from the evidence-based content of InterQual products. The hosted solution allows you to measure how well and how consistently your staff applies the criteria.

Did You Know...

You can now print entire InterQual® Criteria books, as well as individual subsets, with the new Print-Book-On-Demand functionality within CareEnhance® Review Manager Enterprise (Review Manager) 13.0! Whether you're interested in creating a customized book containing the clinical criteria you use the most, or distributing additional copies of the InterQual books you use to those in your organization who need them, it's simple. Just go to the BookView section in Review Manager and select “Print Book” or, if you're accessing BookView from an Alliance Partner application, select “Switch to Print Book.” Then, all you need to do is choose a clinical product and pick the subsets you use most frequently to generate a custom InterQual book.
