Northrop Grumman to Provide Patient Information Application to CMS

Northrop Grumman Corporation has been awarded a task order from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to develop and implement a Web-based application that will help Medicare providers develop comprehensive assessments of patients discharged from post-acute care.

Under the CMS Professional Information Technology (IT) Services indefinite-delivery/indefinite quantity contract, Northrop Grumman will create and deploy a patient assessment instrument that will allow Medicare providers to capture health and demographic information for complete, electronic patient profiles. The secure, Web-based environment will support CMS’ post-acute care program, which is care provided to individuals who need additional help recuperating from an acute illness or serious medical procedure.
