Business Wire
Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an international communications
and information technology company, has been awarded its first task
order from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to provide
support services for the tracking of medication and treatment for
veterans suffering from mental health disorders. The task order
falls under the three-year My Recovery Plan blanket purchase
agreement, which has a ceiling of $4.5 million.
Launched nationwide in 2003, My HealtheVet is a free,
online personal health record that empowers veterans to become
informed partners in their healthcare. The My Recovery Plan
application within the My HealtheVet portal provides a
web-based interface that allows veterans with behavioral or mental
health concerns to track important aspects of their self-care,
including medication intake and self-evaluations.
Under the task order, Harris will provide support services for
the Medication Monitoring and Tracking Module and the My Goals
Module through requirements development, testing and implementation
support. These modules allow veterans suffering from mental health
disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic
brain injury, and substance abuse, to track and organize all
information relevant to their recovery.
“My Recovery Plan gives veterans an invaluable tool to monitor
their own mental health regime, develop life goals, and stay in
constant contact with their clinicians,” said Jim Traficant,
president, Harris Healthcare. “These new modules within the My
HealtheVet portal will improve our veterans’ ability to
recover from serious mental health disorders.”
A nationally recognized leader in federal healthcare IT
integration, Harris also offers commercial providers a full range
of interoperability solutions, including IT infrastructure and
management, clinical workflow and analytics, health information
exchange, and imaging. Harris solutions improve healthcare quality,
safety, efficiency, cost and outcomes by ensuring that the right
information travels, with security and privacy, to the right
person, at the right time, on the right device, at the point of
care.
