Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) announced the launch of the company's new
Healthcare Sector, a dedicated vertical business unit serving healthcare providers, health plans, pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers, and allied industries globally.
CSC's Healthcare Sector will leverage core intellectual property to help clients innovate new or enhanced clinical and business processes, including processes related to supply chain management, revenue cycle management, claims processing, document management, and clinical trial management. The group is bolstered by the 2007 acquisitions of First Consulting Group, an IT services organization dedicated to healthcare and providing increased offshore delivery scale, and Covansys, which strengthened CSC's offshore domain expertise while creating an additional market channel for industry, consulting and outsourcing solutions.
Deward Watts has been named president of Healthcare Sector. Watts has been with CSC for 12 years, and previously led the Americas Healthcare practice as vice president and managing partner. "Organizing CSC's global healthcare resources into a single vertical organization better positions CSC to help our clients use information to transform healthcare," says Watts. "Our main focus will be delivering IT-based innovation that improves patient outcomes and the decision making of providers, payers and life sciences organizations."
