Harris Corporation Awarded Contract to Provide Engineering and Enterprise Support to Veteran Affairs’s VistA Imaging System

March 2, 2011 By Bio-Medicine.Org

MELBOURNE, Fla. and WASHINGTON, March 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/
—

Highlights:

  • System serves more than 1.3 million patients and captures more
    than 35 million images each month
  • Critical component of VA’s mission to provide multimedia
    patient health records at point of care
  • One of the most comprehensive and widely implemented Picture
    Archival and Communications Systems (PACS) available

Harris Corporation (NYSE:
HRS
), an international communications and information
technology company, has been awarded a contract by the Department
of Veterans Affairs (VA) to continue providing advanced software
engineering and enterprise support to the Veterans Health
Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA) Imaging
System.  This multi-year contract was originally awarded to
Harris in August 2008.

The VistA Imaging System is an enterprise-wide information
system that integrates clinical images, scanned documents, and
other non-textual data into a patient’s electronic medical record,
as well as providing long-term storage.  VistA Imaging
combines traditional clinical information with images of all kinds,
including X-rays, pathology slides, cardiology motion views, wound
photos, dental and dermatology-related images, medical data in
standard video formats, and any type of scanned document needed to
complete a patient’s chart.  The system works in all federated
computing architectures, enabling it to be used in multi-vendor
imaging environments without the need for  custom interfaces
– ensuring interoperability and reliable data exchange.

“VistA Imaging provides clinicians with the information they
need at the point of care to deliver quality treatment for our
Veterans,” said Jim Traficant, vice president and general manager,
Harris Healthcare Solutions.  “Harris
