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.
