Clinical Appropriateness Engine Development

The contract seeks the development of a Clinical Appropriateness Engine designed to automate the allocation of transport resources by applying clinical decision support logic or AI-assisted rules that prioritize patients based on acuity and clinical urgency. The system must evaluate patient data in real time to determine the most appropriate level of transport response, ensuring timely and efficient deployment of emergency and non-emergency medical transport services while optimizing resource utilization. The solution must be clinically validated, scalable, and capable of integrating with existing healthcare and transportation management systems to support decision-making across diverse care settings. Submission is open to subcontractors with expertise in AI, clinical workflows, and health informatics, with proposals due by August 14, 2026. The North American Industry Classification System code 541715 indicates this effort falls under research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences. The work is sponsored by the Health Care Agency in California, though no specific location for performance or point of contact is provided. All development must align with healthcare standards and regulatory expectations to ensure patient safety, data privacy, and clinical relevance in real-world emergency and transport scenarios.
