Product Alignment and Asset Impairment Charges [Abstract]
Product Alignment Charges	Product Alignment Charges During the third quarter of 2012, we approved a plan to align our hospital clinical and revenue cycle healthcare software products within our Technology Solutions segment. As part of this alignment strategy, we began converging our core clinical and revenue cycle Horizon and Paragon product lines onto Paragon’s Microsoft^®-based platform. Additionally, we stopped development of our Horizon Enterprise Revenue Management™ (“HzERM”) software product. The plan resulted in a pre-tax charge of $42 million during the third quarter of 2012, of which $26 million was recorded to cost of sales and $16 million was recorded to operating expenses within our Technology Solutions segment. The pre-tax charge included $22 million of non-cash asset impairment charges, primarily for the write-off of prepaid licenses and commissions and capitalized internal use software that were determined to be obsolete as they would not be utilized going forward, $6 million for severance, $6 million for customer allowances and $8 million for other charges.
