Packard to a 10-year IT support services contract.
By Paul McDougall 

   
   
The Department of Veterans Affairs has tapped Hewlett-Packard to 
support
information systems at VA hospitals throughout the country and in the
Philippines. Under a 10-year, $784 million deal announced today, HP will
provide support and maintenance for the VA's Vista Health Information
System. 
Vista is a centralized system that automates record keeping at all 178
VA hospitals. It's deployed on clusters of HP Alpha servers running
OpenVMS software. VA officials say rising clinical and administrative
workloads led them to seek an expanded services arrangement with 
HP,
which has provided IT services to VA hospitals since 1983. More than 
4.5
million patients received care at VA facilities in 2002 and 6.8 million
people are enrolled in the VA health-care system.
