Project summaries

SAIC was selected, via a NITAAC task order contract, to work with a federal health client to establish an electronic system to uniformly code research grants and activities to achieve data standardization and improve the agency’s ability to report to Congress on spending. We are helping to create standardized business rules to support coding and facilitate consistent project reporting and enhanced transparency.

SAIC is helping the Department of Defense’s Military Health System (MHS) deliver better care to more than 9 million service members and their families by supporting DoD’s electronic health record system at 59 hospitals and 364 health clinics around the world. We support collaboration and interoperability initiatives for electronic health records between the DoD and the Department of Veterans Affairs at the James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center in Illinois.

SAIC is helping the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to support the exchange of lab data in the identification and reporting of disease conditions. We are developing a standards-based architecture to continue progress toward full interoperability among public health laboratories and between public health laboratories and healthcare providers. The goal of this high-profile effort within the CDC is to develop the infrastructure to support laboratory electronic test orders and test results between public health partners.

Provide IT systems, monitors, and integrated services that include imaging, asset tagging, and detailed roll out delivery in a secured facility. Contract administrator works closely with COTR and CO to introduce product road maps when products are coming to an end-of-life production. PCi Tec has an accounting team that maintains an accurate accounting system and internal controls as well as monitors and ensures each delivery schedule is met.

Provide high performance computing solutions to one of the largest institutes at NIH. Back-up data storage for the NCBI Genome Biology Project.

CITS II supported the CDC enterprise, the Chief Information Officer’s (CIO’s) IT initiatives, and the Centers’ public health mission. The Northrop Grumman Team supported 45 tasks and 212 work orders, with 1,259 personnel, six small businesses, and more than 20 other companies provided services and technologies for over 300 enterprise-level application systems across five of six CDC offices, nine of ten centers, 19 divisions, and 13 branches.

Provides programmatic, application development, and informatics support to the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP). We support a broad range of IT services related to information systems in support of NCCDPHP programs. These services include software development, integration of applications, web development, and maintenance of the infrastructure to support systems. Northrop Grumman also offers systems support and studies for research activities related to public health practice and research.

BISC provides advanced information technology support in the production, analysis, archiving, and exchange of scientific data for the diverse community of life science researchers. The core component of the resource is an extensive data warehouse containing an integration of experimental data loaded from NIH-funded research and genomic, proteomic, clinical and other relevant extracted from a variety of public databases. The resource also provides data analysis tools and an immunology-focused ontology.

Northrop Grumman successfully designed, developed, and implemented the HITECH NLR necessary for the government to allocate billions of dollars of incentive payments to Medicare and Medicaid professionals, hospitals, and other organizations to “meaningfully use” electronic health records (EHRs). Expanded use of EHRs is expected to both decrease the cost of care and increase the quality of care.
