Introduction and Scope of Work Holter monitor scanning services shall be provided by the contractor, [insert name and address], to patients referred from the New York and Brooklyn Campuses of VA New York Harbor Healthcare System (VA NYHHS), 423 East 23rd Street, New York, NY 10010 and 800 Poly Place, Brooklyn, NY 11209, for the period May 19, 2015 through May 18, 2016, plus four option years. Patients are placed on digital cardiac-function monitoring devices (Holter monitors) for a 24-hour period so that the providers can utilize the data in diagnosing cardiovascular disorders. VA nursing staff places the Holter monitors on patients at the Brooklyn and New York campuses. Once patients return to the facility, nursing staff remove the monitors and place them in a dock and the patients' heartbeats for the entire 24-hour period are uploaded via a triple encrypted system to the contractor (note: the mechanism for electronically transmitting the data will depend on the vendor). The contractor is responsible for scanning all heart activity, highlighting, qualifying and quantifying events (e.g., tachycardia, ischemic events, blockage, etc.), and combining this information into a report describing regular and irregular cardiac patterns which is then electronically transmitted to the facility. The electronic transmission of data is generally reliable; however, there are times when service is interrupted. This down-time can last minutes, hours or perhaps days. In such instances, the vendor needs to provide technical support and/or another way for the data to be transmitted and for reports to be received. The contractor also provides the Holter monitors and equipment necessary to transmit the data and is responsible for the maintenance of the equipment, including replacing devices and equipment (e.g., lead wires) that are no longer functional. VA NYHHS will be responsible for the repair or replacement of Holter monitor devices that are damaged while in the patient's possession, as well as docking stations and pouches that are damaged beyond normal wear and tear. Currently, VA NYHHS does not have all the specialized resources (e.g., a trained technician, space, equipment, etc.) needed to perform Holter monitor scanning services. To provide these services, a contract is necessary. 2.Requirements A.Services to be Provided/Data Exchange: Upon removal of the digital Holter monitor from the patient, the monitor can be either placed in a dock and the data are securely transmitted to the contractor via software provided by the contractor or the flashcard in the Holter monitor can be connected to a card reader and the data are encrypted and transmitted to the contractor via a secure web portal. Upon receipt of the data, the contractor scans the data, i.e., all heart activity for the 24-hour period, and identifies highlights, qualifies and quantifies events (e.g., tachycardia, ischemic events, blockage, etc.). Scanning services entail: "Producing audio and visual representation of heart activity. "Analyzing data from the Holter monitors worn by patients for use in diagnosis of cardiovascular disorders. "Adjusting scanner controls that regulate recorded sounds associated with heart activity and focus video representation of sounds on scanner screen. "Observing scanner screen to identify irregularities in patient cardiac patterns, utilizing knowledge of regular and irregular cardiac-function patterns, or verifying data provided by computer program that automatically scans, analyzes and identifies irregular heart patterns. "Recording sections of abnormal heart patterns or full disclosure of data for physician to do final analysis. "Analyzing information from available patient diary to identify incidents that correspond to heart pattern irregularities detected on heart monitor. "Recording findings on a report. These events are to be compiled into a report describing the heart activity for the 24-hour period and sent back to the facility along with the scanned Holter data electronically via the provided software or web portal. This software must allow users to easily identify information that has been sent back to the facility per patient thereby maximizing efficiency. The Patient Care Team Coordinator (PCTC) for the Diagnostic Center (BK)/COR's designee provides the Chief, Cardiology Service Brooklyn Campus or his/her designee with the data and the report to review and analyze. The information provided by the contractor will be sufficient for the VA providers to make cardiac diagnoses as appropriate. B.Reporting Requirements: The digital Holter monitor data are transmitted electronically to the contractor and the report is returned to the facility using the web portal or software that was provided by vendor or and approved and authorized by the VA Office of Information and Technology (OI&T). The reports are due back to the facility within 24-48 hours (business days) of transmittal. The report that is returned to the facility will include: patient demographic data, the indication for the test from the referring VA clinician, the EKG activity data for the 24-hour period, and the interpretation of the activity in the 24-hour period. The report should also include any abnormalities observed while scanning that data. The abnormalities that are identified in the data are compiled in an EKG strip for the VA cardiologists to review. C.Workload Data: Between 5/19/14 and 1/31/15, 177 Holter monitor studies were performed, with a monthly average of 22 studies. It is anticipated that this volume will be maintained. However, there is no minimum or maximum level of workload guaranteed under this contract. D.Facility Data: The contractor has no access to the VA computer system or software programs. The contractor will not be given use of any government facilities, equipment, data or services. The contractor will need to provide for the secure/encrypted electronic transmission of the data from NYHHS; any software or peripheral devices (e.g., card readers) that may need to be installed to enable this capability at NYHHS must be cleared for use by the VA's IT Office as well as the Privacy Officer. A security background check of the company will need to be completed and found satisfactory. The contractor will need to be prepared for this process to take approximately eight weeks. The cost of the software and for time spent by contractor's personnel for installation at NYHHS will not be reimbursed. No services can start until the transmission system is in place, tested, and found fully operational. E.Place of Performance: All services rendered by the contractor shall be performed on their premises using their own space, utilities, materials, and equipment. F.Procedure for referral and scheduling: Patients are referred for Holter monitor placement by the VA clinician and are scheduled for holter placement by the staff in the Diagnostic Center at the Manhattan and Brooklyn Campuses of VA NYHHS. The contractor is not involved in referring or scheduling patients for holter monitor placement. Once the Holter monitor is removed from the patient the heart activity data are electronically transmitted to the contractor by the VA staff as described above. The contractor does not interact with the patients directly. G.Transfer of Patients/Patient Safety: Not applicable; the contractor does not interact with the patients directly. H.Educational and research activities: No educational or research activities are required or permitted under this contract. I.Billing/Payments: On a monthly basis, the contractor is required to submit an invoice for all of the holter scans and reports completed in the previous month to the PCTC, Diagnostic Center (BK)/COR for review to ensure that the work was completed. The invoice includes the number of scans completed as well as a log of the names of the patients for who scans and reports were completed. Any discrepancies are resolved in a timely manner by the COR and the contractor. Once the invoice is reviewed and approved by the COR, the contractor submits it for payment using the appropriate method, e.g., submitting it online through the appropriate website or sending it to the VA's Financial Services center in Austin, TX for payment. Only the VA shall be entitled to claim reimbursement from patients' health insurance for costs associated with the studies performed. The contractor shall not make any third party claims but shall provide the documentation required by the VA to submit a claim. J.Reimbursement Method: Reimbursement is for studies (i.e., Holter scans and reports) completed in a given month. The rate is specified in the contract. Payment occurs via direct deposit. K.Key Personnel: (CONTRACT TO LIST KEY PERSONNEL) All scanning services as described in Section 2, Paragraphs A & B are performed by staff employed by the contractor. Staff members providing services under this contract will need to meet requirements as set forth in the Special Requirements section. The contractor shall inform the VA regarding any changes in personnel performing scanning services and is responsible for providing evidence of training, competency and any educational/credentialing and/or experience for those personnel. Any licensed independent practitioners (e.g., physician) or licensed dependent providers (e.g., RN or technician) employed by the contractor will be required to undergo the VA's credentialing and privileging process as appropriate and as set forth in the Special Requirements section. Personnel performing scanning services or general supervision will have qualifications comparable to or exceeding those now performing those services. 3. References None. 4. Delivery - Delivery requirements are as stated above in the Requirements section. 5. Progress and Compliance A.The contractor is responsible for ensuring that all services provided by a physician, e.g., the licensed independent practitioner, or a registered nurse, e.g., licensed dependent provider, are within the scope of his/her privileges as determined by the Joint Commission-accredited organizations with which he/she is affiliated and/or the VA. B.The contractor is required to submit reports on patients' heart activity electronically to the facility within 24-48 hours (business days) of transmittal. The timeliness of reports will be monitored by the PCTC, Diagnostic Center (BK)/COR. C.Performance of the contractor's services will be monitored by the Chief, Cardiology at the Brooklyn Campus, or his/her designee and will consist of the following: 1.Review of the quality of the reports that are returned to the facility to ensure that the reports include: a.Patient demographic data, the indication for the test from the referring VA clinician, the EKG activity data for the 24-hour period, and the interpretation of the activity in the 24-hour period. b.Any abnormalities observed while scanning that data. c.An EKG strip of the compiled abnormalities that are identified in the data for the VA cardiologists to review. 2.Input on contractor performance by staff involved with the transmission and receipt of the reports. D.The Chiefs, Cardiology and/or their designees, the PCTC, Diagnostic Center/COR, the Associate Director for Patient Services/Chief Nurse Executive, as well as the Executive Chief of Staff and other facility managers, where necessary, in concert with the Government Contracting Officer, will provide input on steps to improve services in the event that contracted services do not meet expectations. The Government Contracting Officer shall make the final determination of the validity of any customer complaints. E.Penalty for Non-Performance: As described above, completed Holter scans and reports are to be returned to VA NYHHS within 24-48 hours after transmission of the data to the contractor. The contractor must provide multiple ways of contacting them in the event of an emergency. If any of the services do not conform to contract requirements, the Government may require the Contractor to perform the services again in conformity with contract requirements, at no additional cost to the Government. Such cases will be discussed between the cardiologist or the Chief of Cardiology or his/her designee, and/or the COR, and the contractor to ensure that expectations in the re-performance are clear and appropriate. When the defects in services cannot be corrected by re-performance, the Government may: 1.Require the contractor to take necessary action to ensure that future performance conforms to contract requirements; and 2.Reduce the contract price to reflect the reduced value of the services performed. Non-performance for reasons other than uncontrollable, unforeseeable events (e.g., extended power failures, acts of God), will be considered a breach of contract and procedures will be initiated to terminate the contract and seek out another contractor who can provide the same or similar services. F.Administrative aspects of the contractor's services will be monitored by the COR, who is designated as the PCTC, Diagnostic Center (BK). The COR's monitoring will consist of validation that the scans billed were performed and that the necessary documentation has been entered into VistA/CPRS by VA staff. The Government Contracting Officer shall make the final determination of the validity of any customer complaints. 6.Notes and Other Information: Basis of Award A.At the convenience of the Government, this contract will be awarded to one vendor.
