Henry Ford Health System, a leading US healthcare provider, has signed a new ITO deal with CSC. The new five-year, three-month agreement runs through March 2014 and has an estimated total contract value of US $115 million.

Under the extension, CSC will continue to provide all applications development and support services, including more than 200 applications covering clinical, departmental, revenue cycle and PeopleSoft ERP. These services support day-to-day operations and large strategic initiatives, including development of an enhanced electronic medical record program and remediation of more than 50 application systems for a new 300-bed hospital.

“Having witnessed CSC’s efforts firsthand, I applaud the company on this major milestone,” said Arthur Gross, senior vice president and chief information officer of Henry Ford Health System. “CSC’s applications expertise, disciplined methodology, outstanding collaborative teamwork, diagnostic and remediation skills, and account management all came into play in this decision.”

The original five-year contract was awarded to CSC in December 2000. In 2004, it was extended through March 2009 and the scope expanded to include additional services.
