Health Informatics in Life Sciences
Make Your Organization Health Intelligent
The industry is undergoing a transformation with the goal of improving the quality, safety and cost-effectiveness of healthcare. The result is a transparency that influences how products are developed, marketed, evaluated and used.
We work with companies to identify the threats and opportunities associated with this change and to align clinical research, outcomes research, safety surveillance, and commercial operations with healthcare organizations. We help our clients develop programs to accelerate research and improve the value of healthcare.

We’re part of the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) whose goal is to determine whether it is feasible and useful to analyze existing healthcare databases to identify and evaluate safety and benefit issues of drugs already on the market. We are working on the OMOP team to build and manage the computing environment, known as the OMOP Research Laboratory, and operate it for OMOP. For more information visit: http://omop.fnih.org/?q=node/115 We’re working with the National Institutes of Health to develop the Biomedical Translational Research Information System (BTRIS). This system provides a common set of tools for all NIH Institutes to manage, analyze and share data. We developed and host the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association’s Blue Health Intelligence database that aggregates data on 56 million patients from regional Blue plans. We are implementing electronic medical records covering 60 percent of the United Kingdom. Daniel F. Foltz, head of CSC’s Health Intelligence group, co-chairs the Industry Advisory Board of the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) established to provide advice and support to industry.
