Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) has purchased maxIT Healthcare Holdings, a provider of healthcare IT services and solutions to commercial hospital groups and other medical delivery organizations.
The services include IT strategy and planning, electronic health record (EHR) implementation and optimization, and management consulting across a broad range of activities such as accountable care transformation.
Under the acquisition, SAIC will be able to provide EHR implementation and integration services to its strong base of Federal healthcare customers, as they move toward the use of commercial off the shelf (COTS) EHR applications.
In addition, the acquisition will enable SAIC to leverage its expertise in systems integration, health sciences and advanced data analytics to assist providers as they begin to personalize and deliver value-based healthcare.
SAIC Group president Joe Craver said, "maxIT Healthcare's exceptional reputation and expertise within commercial hospitals and ambulatory clinics, combined with SAIC's Vitalize Consulting Solutions (VCS) team, brings together some of the best consultants in the commercial healthcare industry, and we welcome them to our team."
