Litton Selected for Groundbreaking Government Patient Record Program
WOODLAND HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 16, 1998--Litton's PRC subsidiary has been selected as the prime integrator for the first task delivery order of the Government - Computer-based Patient Record (G-CPR) program.
Litton was selected to develop G-CPR by Defense Supply Services - Washington (DSS-W) on behalf of a partnership consisting of the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense, the Indian Health Service and the Louisiana State University Medical Center.
Task orders for G-CPR will be issued under the newly awarded D/SIDDOMS II (Defense Medical Information Systems/Systems Integration, Design, Development, Operations & Maintenance Services) Lot III contract. D/SIDDOMS II is an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract awarded in April 1998 to PRC and six other contractors with a ceiling value of $2.5 billion. The potential value of Litton's first G-CPR task order is approximately $20 million.
The G-CPR is a paperless health-care record that is confidential and comprehensive, and captures all health-related information received by an individual over a lifetime. The information contained in the health-care record includes health service encounter, health status and clinical problems.
The G-CPR adheres to appropriate standards and guidelines governing privacy, data and messaging required for communication between Government and civilian health-care providers.
``G-CPR is a groundbreaking program that promises to ultimately affect how health care is practiced on a global basis,'' said Leonard M. Pomata, Litton vice president and president of PRC. ``This is a significant award for Litton because it allows us to leverage technology and create a system that provides and protects worldwide health-related information at a level previously unattainable with a paper record.''
