It looks like there is another contender for the anticipated multi-billion dollar Department of Defense (DoD) Healthcare Management System Modernization contract.

Two weeks after IBM and Epic announced their partnership to pursue the contract, which entails replacing and modernizing the military health system clinical systems, CSC, Allscripts and HP announced they too will bid for the project.

“The CSC-led team intends to deliver a secure, enterprise-wide IT solution that joins multiple disparate military health information systems into a single, open, interoperable and extensible platform that seamlessly connects patients and providers,” according to a release.

“As a practicing physician in the Navy and civilian sector, I personally understand the importance of this initiative and am honored for the opportunity to extend my experience and expertise in DoD mission and medical knowledge to this team,” said Robert M. Wah, MD, chief medical officer at CSC and current American Medical Association president.
