- Description
- The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) intends to award on a sole source basis, under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures, a firm fixed price award to Clinical Tools, Inc., 431 W. Franklin Street, #24, Chapel Hill, NC 27516. The purpose of this request includes 12 months maintenance of CarePlanner.Espansol and support for three (3) pilots. CarePlanner.Espanol is the Spanish version of CarePlanner. The CarePlanners are person-centered; interactive, Internet-based long-term care decision-support and education tools. The pilots are designed to provide additional usability testing of CarePlanner.Espanol in service environments, i.e., home and community-based waiver programs (HCBS) and a clinical setting. These tools help identify, analyze and manage protections and risks for seniors and disabled individuals in community settings. They weigh risks of each individual to identify those risks that are most likely to affect the health and safety of the individual. Unlike other risk assessment tools that look at one factor, the CarePlanner assessment considers multiple factors-health, treatment, daily living challenges, and caregiver supports. The risk-assessment feature can be used to systematically monitor protections and risks of beneficiaries on an ongoing basis. Clinical Tools, Inc. developed the English and Spanish versions of CarePlanner and is the only vendor with the proprietary knowledge of these tools. CarePlanner. Clinical Tools also maintains both tools on its Internet platform. From inception, our business plan called for adding additional functionality and developing models for additional populations. In this stage of the development we are adding and testing the report functionality and integration into service environments and further testing the usability with Hispanic individuals, families and for providers who serve these populations. The Contractor has successfully designed and implemented a tool that is easy to navigate and contains information at 4th to 9th grade reading level so that individuals with low literacy can understand. All responsible sources may submit capability statements in consideration to the Agency at the above address.
