Salt Lake City, Utah-based 3M Health Information Systems, McKesson Health Solutions (Alpharetta, Ga.), and Executive Health Resources, Inc. (Newton Square, Pa.) have signed a strategic agreement to offer RAC Advanced Services, a program of auditing and consulting services to assist hospitals in preparing for the government’s Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) program, say the companies.
