CSC Obtains Performance Certification for its Clinical Suite Solution

CSCCSC (NYSE: CSC) announced that the CSC Clinical Suite has become one of the first software solutions in Europe to be certified by EuroRec, the not-for-profit organisation dedicated to promoting high-quality Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems throughout Europe. Achieving the certification demonstrates CSC's expertise in EHR system integration and the company's support for common standards across Europe through which the performance of EHR suites can be compared.

EuroRec provides certification for EHR suites that pass through a series of strict performance criteria. The certification guidelines provide vendors performance targets and ensures that purchasing health authorities have independent, third-party certification to verify the quality of systems they are considering installing.

The CSC Healthcare EMEA team is among the first in Europe, and was the first in Scandinavia, to earn certification. This verification from a trusted third party differentiates CSC's offering in a crowded market place which previously offered no certification reassurance for customers.

"EuroRec is driving standardisation in EHR systems and CSC believes that this is a crucial step forward for the industry," said Freddy Lykke, managing director of CSC's European Healthcare Solution Centre. "We feel that common standards, which allow the performance of each vendor's software to be measured and compared, are useful means through which vendors like CSC can demonstrate that EHR systems perform as described."

"EuroRec's ongoing work to certify the performance of systems and drive the standardisation agenda in healthcare systems will enable customers to realise a better blend of solutions from a wide range of vendors. The days where one company can develop an entire healthcare solution are over, as our industry is now centered upon vendors collaborating and combining strengths. It is crucial that we have a body driving standardisation to ensure that each company contributing to the overall solution can be confident it is working with partners who are providing software to the same high standards," added Lykke.

CSC Healthcare EMEA is actively engaged in the EuroRec programme and will continue to support its aims and objectives, which includes re-submission of the CSC Clinical Suite to be measured against the next set of performance criteria when its current certification becomes due for renewal, at the end of next year.
