Harris Corp. has acquired privately held Patriot Technologies LLC, which provides IT services to the Department of Veterans Affairs.
The move positions the company to provide complete interoperability solutions that address the national priority of VA and Military Health System enterprise integration.
Howard L. Lance, chairman, president and CEO of Harris Corporation, said “Patriot’s VA credentials, relationships and healthcare IT expertise are strong additions to our federal healthcare solutions initiatives. With this acquisition, Harris is well-positioned for a lead role in VA healthcare information technology and broader federal healthcare integration.”
Patriot Technologies, which already has a facility next to VA headquarters in Silver Spring, Md., will become part of the Harris Healthcare Solutions unit based in Washington, D.C.
