Maximus has launched Maximus Public Health (MPH) to provide resources to help remediate COVID-19 and other public health threats for government agencies.

Allison Patrick, senior vice president at Maximus’ federal arm, has said that while cybersecurity evolved in recent years, it must keep up with increasingly sophisticated threats such as microbreaches, ransomware and browser-based attacks.

Tom Romeo, general manager of Maximus’ federal services segment and a 2020 Wash100 award winner, wrote in a GCN article published Thursday there are three technology trends to watch in the federal government space this year and one is the adoption of new technologies to transform the way citizens apply and receive health care benefits.

Tom Romeo, general manager of federal business at Maximus and a two-time Wash100 award winner, wrote in a commentary published Friday on Federal News Network that robotic process automation is a key component of a digital toolkit that could help agencies manage repetitive tasks and allow their employees to focus on more complex activities.

Maximus has received certification from a health care accreditation body to assess the credentials of physicians who support the firm's government clients.

Andy Beamon, vice president of digital solutions for citizen services at Maximus’ federal business, has said federal agencies seeking to transform the delivery of citizen services should understand how robotic process automation, artificial intelligence, bots and cognitive computing differ from one another. “Understanding the differences between them is important as it impacts both the citizens’ experience and government agencies navigating the procurement process,” Beamon wrote in a Nextgov article published Monday.

James Gordon, a former executive at Maximus' federal division and General Dynamics' information technology business, has been appointed president of Falls Church, Va.-based health information technology company Cognosante.
