- Description
- DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS The VA San Diego Healthcare System will be entering into a sole sourced firm fixed contract with Creative Health Care Management (CHRM) to implement Relationship Based Care (RBC) within its medical center. The contract is to conduct analysis of the Role Clarity and Work Alignment © (RCWA) process and to perform a diagnostic evaluation of the effectiveness of the current staffing model utilized in the organization. After extensive study of other organizations, including a site visit, and literature reviews, VA San Diego has elected to implement RBC because of the CHRM trademarked and proprietary approach to strengthening relationships between caregivers and patients; and between caregivers and their colleagues. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open market competition is, FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements is appropriate. CHRM has copyrighted the RCWA model, as well as all materials required for the training program. Implementation of the RCWA and RBC tm model requires a significant organizational shift to a Primary Nursing Model which CHRM is very uniquely qualified to provide strategic direction in and overall project management. CHRM is the only provider of the RBC model that VA San Diego has chosen to implement as the primary driver for all patient centered care initiatives in order to meet National VHA strategic objectives of providing Personalized, Proactive, and Patient Driven Care. CHRM owns the proprietary rights to the RCWA training materials and model. By partnering with CHRM, VA San Diego would become part of an international network of healthcare organizations committed to implementing RBC principles and would be able to learn from the experiences of other organizations that are farther along the implementation curve. Due to the fact that these services are proprietary, and the materials are trademarked, no other vendor is legally permitted to provide these services or materials. Therefore, a notice will not be publicized for this procurement per FAR 6.302-1. Market Research was conducted to identify potential vendors who could provide consulting services based on the RBCTM model. Due to the proprietary rights and trademarked materials, CHRM is the sole company who could provide these services. The RBC TM as offered by CHRM is the only model that offers a proven method, along with established and ready to use materials to support the approach, at the point of care for improving patient centeredness in a way that is responsive to current challenges within the VA San Diego cultural environment.
