麥克森公司（McKesson）

????1833年由約翰?麥克森和查里斯?奧科特在紐約聯(lián)手創(chuàng)辦的麥克森公司早在美國醫(yī)療產(chǎn)業(yè)發(fā)展的早期就已在業(yè)內(nèi)占據(jù)一席之地。最初,，公司的業(yè)務(wù)是幫助來自賓夕法尼亞州謝克社區(qū)的滿載草藥,、根莖和香料的藥物運輸船只儲存貨物。

????毫無疑問,，麥克森公司本身與其醫(yī)療服務(wù)業(yè)一樣都取得了巨大成功,。公司現(xiàn)在是北美第一大醫(yī)藥分銷商，營銷15萬種醫(yī)療手術(shù)用品,，包括繃帶和手術(shù)臺,。而且，公司聲稱其提供影響逾1.6億名患者的醫(yī)療解決方案,。

??? 公司已不再滿足于昔日的謝克香料渠道商身份,，大膽涉足銷售一種叫做“健康解決方案”的抽象產(chǎn)品，引導(dǎo)客戶體驗各種層次的服務(wù),，還出售“供應(yīng)商技術(shù)”,，意在幫助客戶解決醫(yī)療記錄中的數(shù)字化問題。全美大約有一半以上的“醫(yī)療系統(tǒng)”在使用麥克森的這種技術(shù),，公司因此獲利頗豐——每年營收逾1230億美元,。

????另外，麥克森正在致力于打造一支醫(yī)療機器人部隊。該公司稱,，在北美地區(qū)投入使用的300多個自動配藥機器人Robot-Rx每年以零失誤的表現(xiàn)成功配藥3.5億劑,。女士們、先生們,，這就是醫(yī)藥產(chǎn)業(yè)的未來啊,。

McKesson

????McKesson was around during the old days of the American medical industry. In 1833, John McKesson and Charles Olcott formed the company in New York, starting out stocking medical ships coming to port with chests full of herbs, roots and spices from Pennsylvania Shaker communities.

????Medical services, of course, have come a long way, and so has the company, which is now the largest pharmaceutical distributor on the continent. McKesson(MCK, Fortune 500) peddles more than 150,000 medical-surgical products, including bandages and exam tables, and, it claims, offers healthcare solutions that touch "more than 160 million covered lives."

????No more a conduit for Shaker spices, the industry today involves selling a much murkier product called "health solutions," which guides clients through the coverage levels they should offer, among other things, and "provider technologies," which aim to help clients deal with the digitization of medical records. Over half of all "health systems" in the United States use McKesson's technologies in this category. It's lucrative — McKesson nets more than $123 billion in annual revenue.

????Also, McKesson is building a medical robot army. Every year, according to the company, "More than 300 Robot-Rx pharmacy robots deployed in North America dispense 350 million medication doses error-free." The future of medicine, ladies and gentlemen.
