MCLEAN, Va., Nov. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) (NYSE: SAI) announced several recent contract awards during the current quarter, with a total value of approximately $242 million from its government and commercial healthcare customers.
As healthcare providers look to technology for ways to improve the quality of care and drive efficiencies across business and healthcare systems, SAIC is executing a multi-pronged health solutions strategy to bolster business growth across its Federal and commercial customer base through the recent acquisitions of maxIT Healthcare and Vitalize Consulting Solutions (VCS). Working with its subsidiary companies VCS and maxIT Healthcare, healthcare business accelerated significantly in the third quarter of FY13. New contracts and work orders range from implementing electronic health record (EHR) products and systems for commercial healthcare providers, to a number of new federal programs in health information technology, life sciences, and behavioral health services.
"This has been an important quarter for our health solutions team, as we work to unify our commercial healthcare teams and leverage their skills across both the commercial and federal markets," said SAIC Senior Vice President and Health Solutions Business Unit General Manager Steve Comber. "We are pleased to continue supporting all of our customers in both markets, whether it's helping to implement EHRs at hospitals to maximize efficiencies, or using health analytics and other solutions to enhance the health and deployment readiness of our military personnel around the world."
