PR Newswire (US)
CINCINNATI, Oct. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CTG HealthCare
Solutions (CTGHS), a leading healthcare information technology (IT)
consulting firm, and a business unit of CTG (NASDAQ:CTGX), an
international IT solutions and services company, today announced
that it was awarded a series of engagements in support of Epic
Systems clinical implementations. CTGHS is providing services to a
major children's hospital with a large pediatric research program
to support the project leadership and implementation of Epic's
clinical applications. The multi-year contract is valued at
approximately $1.7 million. CTGHS also is implementing Epic
software with associated integration services over the next year at
one of the nation's largest faith-based integrated delivery
systems. The organization, which operates hospitals, physician
practices, outpatient clinics, health plans, and related health and
human services in seven states, also recently extended its
agreement with CTGHS for Epic software support in other areas.
CTGHS is working on assisting with the configuration of the Epic
software for the inpatient, ambulatory, and outpatient areas for
this multi-state system. Once completed with that process, CTGHS
will then test the software to ensure it functions as designed and
interacts with all other software in the system. The combined value
of the implementation, integration, and testing engagements is
approximately $3.3 million. "Our expertise and experience in
implementing Epic software is known throughout the industry and
allowed us to come to the forefront when being considered for these
implementations," CTGHS General Manager Tom Niehaus said. "The
strength of CTG's healthcare business is further reflected in our
being named in September 2008 as the eighth-largest company in the
Modern Healthcare ranking of the top 20 healthcare management
consulting firms. Our focus on quality and our reputation for
outstanding work in partnership with our clients helped us secure
these new engagements over the last two quarters." CTG Chairman and
CEO James R. Boldt added, "We are pleased to see the continued
success of our healthcare business which includes healthcare
providers and payers and life sciences companies. Healthcare now
represents over 25% of CTG's total revenue, with revenue from this
business increasing 20% in the second quarter, the highest growth
rate of the major vertical markets on which we focus. CTG
