Leidos-Accenture-Cerner Team for DoD Healthcare Management Systems Modernization Contract
Executive Mosaic's (EM) portfolio of five websites and four E-Newsletters serves to inform executives from across GovCon and the defense sector of the events, people and companies that shape their industry.
- (1888PressRelease) November 18, 2014 - Tysons Corner, VA - ExecutiveBiz reported Friday on a Leidos-Accenture-Cerner consortium's plans to build a new electronic health records system for the military that it said would strive to provide interoperability and connectivity as key features.
Jennifer Bresnick wrote for EHRintelligence that the three companies are making a joint pitch for the Defense Department's $11 billion Healthcare Management Systems Modernization contract.
Jerry Hogge, deputy group president of Leidos' health solutions group, told Bresnick that the agency wants a health information technology platform that can deliver information to clinicians whether they provide care in a connected and a disconnected environment.
Jim Traficant, managing director of Accenture Federal Services, said all three companies have worked with DoD on major programs and he believes this experience will be key for the alliance to meet DHMSM requirements.
Hogge also interviewed Travis Dalton, general manager of Cerner's federal business, who told the publication that the project's challenge is to link integrated care in the battlefield to care provision in outpatient settings through technology.
"Having the right data, at the right place, at the right time is a really important element of this program," Dalton added, according to Bresnick's article.
