FALLS CHURCH, VIRGINIA - Evolvent Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of healthcare information technology services to the Federal Government, has recently won new and continued work in several areas to improve the lives of our nation's warriors, veterans and their families. This new work was awarded by the Medical Research and Material Command (MRMC) / US Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA), the organization responsible for both the award and administration of the task orders.
Evolvent's CEO, Bill Oldham, stated at the company's headquarters, "We are honored and pleased to continue and expand our support of our nation's veterans and wounded warriors, along with new clients in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Since October, the last several months have seen major improvements and achievements within each of the programs we serve. In cooperation with government health IT leaders across several departments, we are helping transform the technology foundations of federal healthcare. The work that our clients are doing with our team's help will make healthcare better and more cost-effective. We are excited about the work and the opportunity to continue to grow and to be of service."
Evolvent is pleased to support the Military Health System (MHS) Defense Health Information Management System (DHIMS) program office on the following tasks:
• Neurocognitive Assessment Tool (NCAT) - Evolvent is performing enhancements to the tool, which is used to determine a cognitive performance baseline, to potentially diagnose the presence of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) after an exposure to concussive forces (as well as track post-exposure changes in cognitive function).
• Internal Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) - Evolvent is transitioning many of the MHS applications from the current ICD-9 code set to the ICD-10 code set. The new code set will ensure quality measurement, public health, research, organizational monitoring and performance, and reimbursement.
• Medical Evaluation Board (MEB) - Evolvent is providing enhancements to the current system to allow for more efficient medical disposition by medical professionals who are transitioning, or potentially transitioning, active duty personnel.
• National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP) - Evolvent is updating the current system and standards that deliver and transfer data related medications, supplies and services in the healthcare industry. The changes include updating to NCPDP D.0 and X12 version 5010 defined by the latest HIPAA administrative simplification standards.
We are also pleased to support the National Intrepid Center of Excellence (NICoE), located in Bethesda, Maryland, on the campus of the National Naval Medical Center. The newly established facility is dedicated to advancing the diagnosis, treatment and research of complex combat related TBI and Psychological Health (PH) conditions.
• Evolvent is supporting all Information Management/Information Technology (IM/IT) requirements at the NICoE, the newest component center of the Defense Centers of Excellence (DCoE) for PH and TBI.
Expanding our support in the Pacific Northwest of the DCoE Technology and Telehealth (T2), we have expanded two key contracts that are advancing the utilization of virtual environments and the measurement of usability in telehealth through the following contracts:
• Virtual Worlds (VW) - Evolvent's goals is to reduce the barriers to care, and provide for Service Members and their families suffering from the affects of TBI and Behavioral Health (BH), using a virtual world, 3D environment.
• Usability Labs - Evolvent is designing, establishing and maintaining usability labs aimed at measuring and analyzing the quality of the user's experience in support of military BH.
We have also begun supporting HHS as part of an integrated team to provide Enterprise Architecture (EA) support. At the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Evolvent is assisting in the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) management support services by providing information technology support service (ITSS).
