What is McKesson EDI?
McKesson EDI is a healthcare supply chain integration framework that enables pharmaceutical and medical-surgical suppliers to exchange procurement, invoicing, and catalog information electronically with McKesson distribution networks. It automates order-to-cash workflows across hospital systems, retail pharmacies, and clinical settings, ensuring product availability, pricing accuracy, shipment visibility, and regulatory compliance through standardized electronic document exchange.
