ACS to implement EHRs, HIEs for Wyoming

Affiliated Computer Services (ACS) has earned a $4 million, three-year contract this week to provide a Web-based EHR and a health information exchange (HIE) for the Wyoming Department of Health (WDH).

As a part of the state’s Total Health Record program designed to create a single Web portal for patient data, the Dallas-based ACS said it will coordinate internal and external systems with various agencies to establish EHR interoperability.

The company will also link systems across various divisions and programs within WDH and develop Web applications and collect data that can interoperate with the following systems: Medicaid management information, immunization, vital records, laboratories and health management.
