Mediware sues McKesson over Trade Secrets

From the Kansas City Star, the story of a lawsuit filed last week in Kansas City, Kansas in which Mediware Information Systems Inc. alleges that the information technology unit of McKesson Corp., now known as McKesson Provider Technologies, misappropriated Mediware's trade secrets.

Mediware provides specialized clinical software to hospitals and other facilities that manage surgical suites and blood banks and for the ordering and administration of medicine.

According to the Star, the complaint doesn't provide much information such as the nature of the trade secrets, the time frame of the alleged misappropriation or the identities of the people who allegedly passed the secrets to McKesson.
