What is utterly disgusting is that Hammergren receives $580,000 dollars to spend on security systems for his house (look it up in Corporate Stock filings and what top executives are blessed with). He gets a corporate jet, is glorified with millions of stock, is paid so much compared to an average worker in his company, yet he was allowed to destroy the Healthcare software so many dedicated individuals worked to build, because of FAILED leadership starting with him, and all the cronies below him.
Just look at what he did to Clinicals and Paragon. He is a failed leader, and should be ousted from the board, along with the board, and all the other disgusting cronies that allowed bad software development and process.
This company is very strong on the Pharmacy end, but is an utter failure in developing Healthcare software. McKesson is only concerned with saving dollars for their executive bonuses, and offshoring to India. McKesson offshored to India back in 2000, and that's what got them in the entire mess to begin with. How about employing American men and women to do the jobs here onshore? Can't you find anyone? Wait, you did, but you let them all go.
No customer wants to buy Clinicals or Paragon for that matter. Why would competition buy software from McKesson, when customers are leaving and going with the competition to begin with?
TOTAL FAILED LEADERSHIP. Hammergren and company do NOT follow what they preach in ICARE (integrity, customer centered, accountability, respect, excellence). Too bad they allowed BAD management to destroy the healthcare software they wanted to lead in. SHAME on the BOARD and Hammergren for allowing this to continue, and all others involved.
This ship has sunk, and is almost under water.
McKesson Pharmacy end may suffer as a result of the poor decisions in the Healthcare Software division. I think that is already happening since they lost the contract for OptumRx, the mail order pharmacy company.
