VA Gives Harris $54.9M to Streamline Surgical Workflow for Hospitals

Harris Corp. has won a $54.9 million, 5-year contract to provide the Department of Veterans Affairs with a surgical workflow management solution. Harris' offering will incorporate the GE Centricity Perioperative Management system.

Although the VA has been moving to integrate some private-sector applications with its VistA electronic health record, the GE surgical management product is the first commercial off-the-shelf software to be used throughout the VA healthcare enterprise, according to the press release.
