Presbyterian integrated Epic’s EHR, and the process has required services from other vendors and companies. The system is also working with Leidos Health and T-Systems as part of its implementation process, according to the report.
Presbyterian’s latest Form 990 filing from 2013 indicates the system paid Epic $14.5 million, T-Systems $9.9 million and Leidos Health $9 million, according to the report.
Dale Maxwell, executive vice president and chief administration officer for Presbyterian, said in the report the system uses these out-of-state services because they provide services at a level that isn’t found within New Mexico. “These services are only offered outside of New Mexico at the level and complexity we require,” he told Albuquerque Business First.
