Description

International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) Training Services Request for Information VA-701-11-RI- 0380 I. Introduction: This sources sought notice is for information and planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a solicitation or as an obligation on the part of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The VA is currently conducting market research to locate qualified, experienced and interested potential sources. Responses will not be considered as proposals, nor will any award be incurred by interested parties in responding to this sources sought announcement. The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is seeking interested sources (contractors) for a near-future solicitation and procurement for International Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition, (ICD-10) Procedure Coding System/Clinical Modification (PCS/CM) implementation support services. At this time, no solicitation exists. Therefore, DO NOT REQUEST A COPY OF THE SOLICITATION. This nationwide effort will include provision of training at 153 medical centers, seven (7) CPACs, and other offices providing centralized services. II. Background: The compliance date for implementation for ICD-10 is October 1, 2013. ICD-10 will replace the ICD-9-CM diagnosis code set in all health care settings for diagnosis reporting with dates of service, or dates of discharge for inpatients, that occur on or after October 1, 2013. VHA utilizes ICD-10 codes for a variety of purposes, such as: clinical studies, performance measurement, workload capture, cost determination, Veterans Equitable Resource Allocation (VERA), classifying morbidity and mortality, indexing of hospital records by disease and operations, data storage and retrieval, and reimbursement. III. Training Requirements: The VA, potentially in conjunction with other Federal agencies, seeks support for the implementation of ICD-10 for all modes of operations, including but not limited to recording clinical diagnosis and procedures, reporting, reimbursement, and statistical analysis. Depending on the results of Market Research there may be multiple contract actions to meet the objectives identified in this request. The Contractor shall provide a detailed Training Plan, to include course content, any support tools that would be utilized, delivery modalities, training location(s), and trainer credentials for each of the audience groups impacted by the implementation of ICD-10. IV. Submittal Information: Contractors having the skills and capabilities necessary to perform the stated requirements should submit a response of no more than 15 pages in length, single spaced, 12 point font minimum. The Government will not review any other data or attachments that are in excess of the 15 pages. Companies should provide clear and unambiguous evidence to substantiate their capability to fulfill these requirements.
