Sources must have an understanding of, and experience in, research in process improvement and redesign, workflow analysis and redesign, ambulatory clinical workflow, and health information technology and health information exchange; conducting literature reviews, environmental scans and synthesizing findings; engaging experts and reviewers; development and testing of toolkits; large-scale dissemination efforts; and electronic communication including website development, implementation, and maintenance. Staff must include a Project Director who shall have, at a minimum, no less than ten (10) years total work experience which includes 1) at least eight (8) years in the specialty services field (e.g., workflow analysis and redesign, health information technology, ambulatory clinical workflow, literature review, analysis and synthesis methods, engaging experts, reviewers and practitioners) in progressively responsible positions; and 2) demonstrated skills in organizing and monitoring challenging and complex projects conducted by groups of diverse research professionals. Interested SMALL BUSINESSES only should submit their capability statements (no more than ten (10) pages in length) to Linda Simpson, Contracting Officer, by email at linda.simpson@ahrq.hhs.gov, no later than 12pm (noon) EST on June 11, 2008.
