Health IT consulting firm Impact Advisors has joined Epic and IBM's bid to overhaul the Department of Defense's EHR system.
Epic and IBM were among the first to announce their intent to bid on the contract. Their proposal includes using Epic's EHR software coupled with IBM's systems integration, operations and change management expertise to replace the current DoD system.
"Impact Advisors has a strong track record of working with hospitals and healthcare organizations all over the country in delivering Epic solutions that transform care delivery and clinical results," said IBM CMIO Keith Salzman, MD. "They are a strong addition to our team as we pursue this bid in helping the Department of Defense better share, collaborate and coordinate care."
