D -- G-CPR CLINICAL TERMINOLOGY INTEROPERABILITY SOFTWARE SERVICES, VOCABULARY CONTENT, INFORMATION MODELS, KNOWLEDGE MODELS AND API'S. POC Jane Peworchik E-MAIL: Contracting Officer, Jane.Peworchik@mail.va.gov. D -- G-CPR CLINICAL TERMINOLOGY INTEROPERABILITY SOFTWARE SERVICES, VOCABULARY CONTENT, INFORMATION MODELS, KNOWLEDGE MODELS AND API'S. The Department of Defense Composite Health Care System II Program Office of the Office of Assistant Secretary (Health Affairs), the Veterans Health Administration of the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Indian Health Service of the Department of Health and Human Services, hereafter referred as the Government Computer-based Patient Record (G-CPR) Partners, intend to acquire on a sole source basis the terminology, information models and knowledge models developed by the Clinical Lexicon Consortium (CLC). The content includes clinical concepts from the 3M Healthcare Data Dictionary (300,000 concepts, concept identification, concept description and most common terms), the Micromedix Medical Data Dictionary (200,000 U.S. based drugs at the generic molecular to National Drug Code level, synonyms and public available foreign drug codes, DIN (Canadian) codes, 5000 Adverse Drug Event (ADE) terms, toxicology and chemical safety terms) and the 120,000 Clinically Relevant Patient Centric Findings and their Global Entity Numbers offered by PKC. The 3M Information Model Structure includes 850 class structures and 86 subclass structures. The 3M Knowledge Model includes approximately 500,000 domain relationships for mediation services. The vocabulary components listed above will provide the terms and definitions that are the basic building blocks of G-CPR medical information representation. The acquired vocabularies and models will form the foundation for the G-CPR Medical Data Dictionary and will be acquired with the distinct purpose of placing them in the public domain. The G-CPR Partners also intend to license the 3M Mediation Subsystem to solve the problem of lexical incompatibility of systems sharing information through the G-CPR Framework. The subsystem includes the mapping of the 300,000 clinical concept identifiers and their definitions to over 1,500,000 commonly used terms, including UMLS, LOINC, SNOMED, ICD-9, CPT-4, NDC, etc. and organizes the concepts into a knowledge model of over 500,000 relations. The G-CPR Partners intend to place the necessary Mediation Subsystem Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) developed by the CLC for the G-CPR Framework into the public domain. The Government believes that only one responsible source can satisfy this requirement in full, that source being the manufacturer of the product required. This is a notice of intent, no solicitation document exists and no telephone calls will be honored. The POC is Jane Peworchik, email, Jane.Peworchik@mail.va.gov. Posted 07/07/98. (0188)
