Lockheed Martin Acquires Systems Made Simple

By HospiMedica International staff writers
Posted on 10 Nov 2014
Lockheed Martin (Bethesda, MD, USA) will acquire Systems Made Simple (Syracuse, NY, USA), a leading provider of health information technology (HIT) solutions to the US federal government. More...


The transaction is intended to broaden Lockheed Martin’s capabilities across the spectrum of HIT operations, from developing sophisticated information technology architecture for complex organizations, and up to delivering custom applications designed to increase patient access and improve the overall patient experience. It will also expand Lockheed Martin’s relationship with the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA, Washington DC, USA), for which it provides disability case management services for veterans.

Systems Made Simple delivers technology and service solutions to improve, increase, enable and ensure the secure exchange and interoperability of information between patients, providers, and payers. The company does significant work with the VA in areas such as health data analytics, data center operation, health data management, and health system interoperability.

“Technology is rapidly transforming the healthcare landscape in the United States, and is critical to reducing costs and improving patient care,” said Marillyn Hewson, chairman, president, and CEO of Lockheed Martin. “Systems Made Simple’s capabilities in engineering health technology solutions are a natural extension of our existing health IT portfolio, and will enable us to deliver a broader portfolio of capabilities to meet our healthcare customers’ current and future needs.”

“Lockheed Martin and Systems Made Simple share a common technology vision and a common commitment to our nation’s veterans,” said Al Nardslico, chairman and president of Systems Made Simple. “We are proud to bring our collective experience to deliver more robust healthcare solutions to the men and women who have served our great country.”

Lockheed Martin is a global aerospace, defense, security and advanced technology company with worldwide interests. The company operates in five business segments: aeronautics, information systems & global solutions, missile and fire control, mission systems and training, and space systems. Lockheed Martin is one of the world's largest defense contractors; in 2009, 74% of Lockheed Martin's revenues came from military sales.
