Mike Gaffney, head of CSC’s North American Public Sector Civil and Health Services Group sat down with ExecutiveBiz to talk, among other things about healthcare. “We have in-depth expertise in that area that has been developed at the federal, state, and local levels. For example, we’ve run the Medicaid information systems for New York for nearly 30 years, and, soon, for North Carolina. We’ve also helped oversee health information exchanges for the state of Massachusetts. On the international front, we’re the implementer of a national system of electronic health records for the United Kingdom’s National Health System. While a lot of differences exist between US and UK healthcare systems, CSC’s knowledge in delivering electronic health records — the security and privacy aspects, as well as getting providers to move from paper to electronic — are all directly relevant to how the United States moves ahead on the healthcare front. We’ll be using that experience with our clients here in the United States, both on the private side, where we have a large commercial practice working with hospitals and insurers, as well as on the public sector side.”
