CAMRIS Celebrates 46th Year of Work with USAID |
 |
CAMRIS is known throughout the U.S. for its leading edge services to support our national programs and particularly for serving our Veterans. CAMRIS is also known worldwide for excellence serving client programs to improve economic, social, political, and health conditions of people in all parts of the world. For 45 years, since our first contact with USAID in 1963 and with work in every year since, our most important partner in the international sphere has been the United States Agency for International Development (“USAID”). In fact, CAMRIS has worked with USAID in each year since its founding. Before USAID we assisted its predecessor organizations dating back to the Kennedy Administration in 1961, to address humanitarian needs and to counter instability posed by underdevelopment.
To date CAMRIS has carried out assignments for USAID in 50 countries in all regions and in many technical areas. Today CAMRIS continues this proud tradition as it works on significant USAID assignments in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Our current work includes technical assistance to support major USAID-funded initiatives in the areas of Global Health, Democracy and Governance, Development, and Monitoring and Evaluation, and active assignments including several global initiatives and our present work in 24 countries (Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Botswana, Colombia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Indonesia, Iraq, Ivory Coast, Jordan, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria, Pakistan, Russia, Rwanda, South Africa, Sudan, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe).
eHealth Operations in Kansas and Missouri |
|
CAMRIS eHealth announced today that it has begun full-service 24 hour diagnostic radiology services via teleradiology in Kansas and Missouri for the Veterans Health Administration of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). These services will provide critical patient care for the VA "Heartland Network-VISN 15 Western Orbit." CAMRIS radiologists now provide diagnostic radiology services via teleradiology to newly initiated VISN 15 hospitals and satellite clinics including the Dwight D. Eisenhower VA Medical Center in Leavenworth, Kansas; the Colery-O'Neil VA Medical Center in Topeka, Kansas; the Robert J. Dole VA Medical Center in Wichita, Kansas; and the Kansas City VA Medical Center in Kansas City, Missouri. These four VAMCs and their satellite clinics, which provide medical services to nearly a half million of America's Veterans, join VA facilities currently serviced by CAMRIS in Illinois, Michigan, Tennessee and Wisconsin, expanding CAMRIS’s commitment and leadership in the full-service teleradiology field for the Federal Government.
CAMRIS Extends a Warm Welcome to New Staff |

CAMRIS Implements New USAID Global Health Assignments |
|
During the month of May CAMRIS received and started to implement new assignments that support USAID Missions in Botswana, Mozambique, DRC, Bolivia and Egypt, as well as new work that supports the Office of HIV/AIDS in USAID’s Global Health Bureau. This work is being carried out under USAID’s Global Health Technical Assistance (GH Tech) Project (www.GHTECHproject.com). Under this project CAMRIS has been providing the USAID Global Health Bureau, Regional Bureaus, and USAID field missions with technical assistance for planning, program development, project design, evaluation and communications support to assist the Agency in achieving its Strategic Objectives in health. CAMRIS has carried out or participated in more than 100 GH Tech assignments to date, including work in all USAID regions. Through GH Tech and other current contracts, CAMRIS is proud to continue its long tradition (since 1963) of service to USAID.
CAMRIS International and Global Med Technologies® team produce updates for the U.S. Air Force (UASF) and Armed Services’ Blood Program (ASBPO) Global Profile Blood Donor Database |
|
Bethesda, MD – May 26 2009 – The CAMRIS/Wyndgate team issued a press release timed to coincide with its technical report submission on progress made in the creation of the BEST software prototype. BEST, developed with funding from the US Air Force, is a comprehensive blood management solution designed to meet specifications for the US Air Force (USAF), US Navy, and US Army. BEST will be easy and flexible to deploy in the field and can be embraced by other civilian blood donor facilities, national security, emergency response national forces, and NATO allies. The report includes goals achieved this quarter such as: a live demonstration of the USAF requirements for Global Donor Deferral using form DD572, the launching of a secure website for the public and working groups, an executed Data Use Agreement (DUA) between CAMRIS/USAF and the successful transfer of Air Force Blood Program (AFBP) DBSS data to CAMRIS. Work will continue next quarter with a specific focus on a live demonstration of BEST capabilities in performing: a) global “lookback” and b) accurate, timely, and readily available reports.
