- Description
- The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is conducting a sources sought synopsis for market research to locate organizations that are capable of providing development, maintenance and support services to the Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) and its grantees for the registry software and reporting systems used by and for the health centers. The BPHC seeks to assure that users properly apply and implement the integrated software system consistent with program objectives including health centers performance measures and indices for primary health care clinical outcome measures. Health Disparities Collaborative (HDC) is a program to improve (through widespread system change) the health care delivery system in Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) funded consolidated health centers. The purpose of this initiative is to improve the care delivered to the underserved, improve the efficiency and management of the health centers and eliminate health disparities. The HDC represents a strategy that: (1) addresses senior leadership; (2) implements a care, improvement and learning model to change practice; (3) supports an infrastructure to sustain improvement, and (4) develops key partnerships at the local and national level. The long term objectives of the BPHC HDC program are 1) to provide health centers with the much needed support and capability to capture and report clinical and operational data and 2) to use these data to make internal improvements within health center operations to improve patient health outcomes. While health centers are improving patient care and related outcomes through knowledge and practices gained through their participation in the HRSA Health Disparities Collaboratives (HDC), HRSA is achieving the national performance goals for health disparities, which are critical in meeting the requirements of the Government Efficiency and Performance Reform Act. These performance goals are accountability measures for which the BPHC must report to the President and Congress as part of budget submissions and updates. As a result, BPHC supported grantees are accountable for performance in reducing or eliminating health disparities in the Nation. In meeting the president’s initiative to properly report on the 16 million patients, the HRSA HDC will integrate into a Primary Health Care Collaborative encompassing an integration of the following four types of collaboratives: 1) disease specific, 2) general prevention and cancer screening, 3) access and redesign of health center operations to include patient flow and finance, and 4) community systems pilots. The purpose of this notice is to seek sources with capabilities and in-depth expertise in designing, developing, and managing the implementation of a national registry system capable of interoperability with existing systems being used by the HRSA-supported health centers and other HRSA-grantees working in primary health care. Interested organizations may include in their capability statements commercial off the shelf software, as long as it is able to demonstrate and provide management and functionality capabilities, and technical specifications as stated below. Management Capabilities include: interoperability of health management systems and data; ability to revamp systems in progress; ability and experience in programming code and its functionality; demonstrated appropriate expertise for both virtual and local technical support; and ability to provide training, technical assistance and support effectively and efficiently to HRSA’s customers, including grantees. Functional Capabilities include: integrated reports for Primary Health Care Collaboratives; scalable system designed to track population based care for more than 16 million patients; ensures portability of information with ability to transfer current data to the new system and to produce aggregated reporting of data at the local, state, and national level; maintains HIPAA compliance security for data in accordance with federal law; provides unfettered government access; remains consistent with developing industry standards; ability to fix and add reports, and to support web site. Technical Specifications include: development and implementation of reporting indices of measures, clinical encounter documentation, results retrieval, clinical decision support, clinical order entry with unfettered access for the federal government; development and implementation of interfaces that allow seamless transfer of data and assure ease of use by health centers; ability for current and additional data dictionary components to be captured, refined, and recalculated including collection of patient demographic, financial including billing, pharmaceutical and laboratory components; assure program security, 508 compliance, and complete a system security plan. Documentation may include Government and commercial contracts, providing references (with names, telephone numbers, and email addresses) and any other information serving to document the organizations capability.
