Core Solutions to Replace Pennsylvania
Department of Health's Information System

Core Solutions, Inc. has received a competitively-bid contract for replacing the Client Information System (CIS) of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Department of Health. This is the first stage in a process that will include a possible integration of behavioral health data between the Department of Health and the Department of Public Welfare.

Core Solutions"We're very excited to have the opportunity to service the behavioral health community in our home state," says Ravi Ganesan, president of Core Solutions. "We're confident that we will be able to save the Commonwealth as well as agencies an enormous amount of time and money." Core Solutions was founded in Wayne, PA in 1999. Since its inception, the company has grown into a premier provider of scalable and adaptable products for providers across the country.

Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Southeastern Pennsylvania (BFTP/SEP) invested $250,000 in Core Solutions from 2007 to 2009, providing management and business consulting services. BFTP's partner fund, Emerald Stage2Ventures, also invested in Core Solutions. Today, Core Solutions continues to provide the industry's most comprehensive, flexible, enterprise-wide web-based software applications.

The Bureau of Drug and Alcohol Programs (BDAP) in Pennsylvania has worked for several years to identify a replacement data solution for the current antiquated CIS that would comply with its needs and meet federally mandated standards. Core Solutions' Care Enterprise platform has the technical breadth and depth to meet the requirements of the provider community and be accessible by county and state entities in a seamless and secure manner.
