CSC announced that its enterprise content management solution, FirstPoint, is now available through the company's FirstPortfolio offering. FirstPoint streamlines a health organization's document management processes and incorporates industry best practices in ECM. CSC’s global healthcare business is dedicated to creating superior performance for leading organizations through the solutions and services it provides across the life sciences, provider, payer, federal and state markets.
Its mission is to enhance the quality of care delivery and clinical outcomes by providing improved performance through interoperable, standards-based information systems and optimized management processes. The organization has established a worldwide track record of success in helping clients achieve superior results through its innovative solutions and thought leadership.
Launched in October, FirstPortfolio provides users with a collection of applications that are hosted and maintained by CSC. With the addition of FirstPoint, FirstPortfolio offers a scalable Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007-based ECM solution. FirstPortfolio allows health plans to add new functionality in a fraction of the time required for traditional implementations while reducing financial risk and decreasing capital expenditures.
Health plans benefit from a single contract that includes pre-negotiated prices for applications that are available through FirstPortfolio and CSC's data center management services. CSC's Global Healthcare Sector, which serves healthcare providers, health plans, pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers, and allied industries around the world, is a global leader in transforming the healthcare industry through the effective use of information to improve healthcare outcomes, decision-making and operating efficiency.
