Harris awarded VistA contract renewal

Communications and IT company Harris has been awarded a contract by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to continue providing 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-text data into a patient's EMR.

Each month, the VA system serves more than 1.3 million patients, captures more than 35 million new images, displays more than 9 million images for review and displays more than 500,000 studies for diagnosis, according to Harris, of Melbourne, Fla.
