Rachel Sharp Joins McKesson Health Solutions as Managing Director for InterQual in U.K. and Ireland
In her new role, Mrs. Sharp will define regional sales, marketing, and business development strategies for InterQual, McKesson’s market-leading clinical criteria. She will also help define international third-party distribution, local service support plans, and strategies that expand access to InterQual’s product portfolio by provisioners of care in the region.
A long-serving and highly experienced clinician for the National Health Service, Mrs. Sharp held pivotal roles across service provisioning, commissioning, and support services. Her roles included Deputy Director of Nursing and Engagement, and Associate Director of Service Redesign, both within the NHS’s East Midlands region; and National Programme Lead for NHS England.
Last year Mrs. Sharp launched the NHS England National Clinical Utilisation Review Programme, where she developed the Specialised Commissioning and National CQUINs (Commissioning for Quality and Innovation), stimulated and managed the supplier market, created the financial models, established the procurement process for the supply of software, and carried out the approval process for five early implementer sites across England.
Most recently, as Managing Director at Rachel Sharp Ltd., she provided expert executive counsel on transformation and improving clinical quality and efficiency for a range of health and social care services organizations.
The InterQual product line is McKesson’s flagship decision support solution. InterQual criteria helps commissioners and providers ensure appropriate care to improve quality and reduce unnecessary cost across the continuum of care. The InterQual clinical development team synthesizes the most current, best evidence into a fully referenced decision support tool that is reviewed and updated annually.
