FAIRFAX, VA, June 10, 2016 - CGI (TSX: GIB.A) announced today that it was awarded a task order to provide operational and interoperability testing under the U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Test and Evaluation (T&E) Mission Support Services (MSS) contract. This cost plus fixed fee task order has one base year and two option years, with the work to be performed at Fort Huachuca, Ariz. and the Pacific Northwest.
Under this task order, CGI will help validate the Joint Interoperability
Test Command's (JITC) requirement for Operational Effectiveness Suitability
Interoperability and Survivability (OESIS) testing of the Department of
Defense (DoD) Healthcare Management System Modernization (DHMSM) Electronic
Health Record (EHR) system.
The DHMSM program oversees the acquisition of off-the-shelf solutions to
modernize the Military Health System (MHS) EHR system and establish
seamless medical data sharing. CGI's work on this task order includes test
planning, execution, analysis and reporting to provide sufficient
operational readiness) findings, conclusions and recommendations for the
Director, Operational Test & Evaluation (DOT&E) in support of operational
decision-making.
The MHS EHR system will unify and increase accessibility of integrated,
evidenced-based healthcare delivery and decision-making, while supporting
the availability of longitudinal medical records, or medical histories, for
9.6 million military beneficiaries and approximately 153,000 MHS personnel
globally. When military personnel and their families move every few years,
having medical records available electronically makes it easier for
healthcare professionals to treat them when they seek medical care. "We are
honored to be working on one of the largest medical healthcare systems
globally that directly affects our warfighters and their families," said
Pat Dougherty, CGI Senior Vice President for
Defense Programs. "This system will help make their medical histories
available wherever they are stationed. CGI has maintained an outstanding
record of performance with JITC, and this effort will allow us to continue
to support the military's healthcare modernization goals."
