- Description
- MONAHRQ® -- My Own Network, Powered by AHRQ - is an innovative desktop software tool that enables organizations (such as state and local data organizations, regional reporting collaborations, hospitals and hospital systems, nursing homes and nursing home organizations, and health plans) to quickly and easily generate a health care reporting Website. MONAHRQ® analyzes, summarizes, and presents the health care quality, utilization, and cost information in either a consumer or health care professional format. The sole source modification will develop new capabilities for the MONAHRQ software and increase dissemination activities and technical assistance capabilities. The services needed to meet the agency's needs includes software development that can work the healthcare data, and review existing options to develop effective public reporting websites generated with the software. In addition, there are needs to expand the use of the software, which has been growing under the current plan, but that requires additional effort remain effective and relevant, and able to meet the needs of the target users. The development portion and the dissemination and outreach portions are critical to meeting the agency's goals of increasing use and evolution of public reporting and ultimately increasing transparency in the health care system and improving health care quality. This action is necessary to complete tasks directly related to adding new capabilities and features to the current MONAHRQ software, and increasing the awareness and use MONAHRQ software for public reporting. Expanding the features of MONAHRQ and expanding its user base supports AHRQ, CMS and HHS initiatives to increase transparency in support of the Affordable Care Act, HHS Strategic Goals, and AHRQ priorities. MOST Investments, LLC d/b/a: Pantheon Software is uniquely qualified to perform the software development and dissemination and outreach tasks because they are currently completing the development of MONAHRQ 7.0, MONAHRQ technical support, and dissemination and outreach activities for the project. MOST Investments, LLC d/b/a: Pantheon Software is the only contractor that can perform this work in order to maintain the quality, validity and consistency of the software enhancements within the MONAHRQ software. The use of another contractor would significantly increase the possibility of disruption to both the quality and validity of the software, and disrupt support of current MONAHRQ users (which includes 15 state data organizations, and many other for-profit and non-profit users). This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government as to whether or not to compete this proposed modification action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Interested parties regarding this sole source action may contact the contract specialist, David Goodno, david.goodno@ahrq.hhs.gov, no later than the following time and date specified: 10:00 AM EDT, Monday, June 1, 2015.
