Florida-based communications and information technology company Harris Corporation has received a one-year, $14 million contract from Evolvent Technologies, Inc., to develop and implement the U.S. Department of Defense Military Health System's global Healthcare Artifact and Image Management Solution (HAIMS).

The HAIMS contract is for one year with potential for four one-year incentive options. Under the contract, Harris will provide program management, software design, systems development, and test and evaluation expertise for the web-based HAIMS solution.

HAIMS will provide all 65 hospitals and medical centers within the global Department of Defense (DoD) healthcare system, as well as dental and medical clinics, enterprise-wide access and viewing of healthcare artifacts and images.

The program also enables seamless access for beneficiaries supported by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

The overall HAIMS program was awarded to Evolvent, an e-business solutions and services provider, as part of the Defense Systems Integration, Design, Development, Operations and Maintenance Services III contract vehicle, for which the company is a small business prime contractor.
