Clinical Workflow Design & Care Pathway Standardization

The contract seeks the design and validation of standardized clinical care pathways for lower extremity vascular ulcers, with a focus on translating established evidence-based guidelines into actionable digital workflows and decision support tools. The goal is to improve consistency, efficiency, and outcomes in veteran care by embedding best practices directly into clinical workflows through technology, ensuring that providers have real-time, guideline-aligned support at the point of care. The work must include rigorous validation processes to confirm the pathways are clinically effective, user-friendly, and scalable across VA healthcare settings. This subcontract is issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs through the Technology Acquisition Center NJ, with a response deadline of November 14, 2025, and a solicitation posted on April 29, 2026. The NAICS code 621999 classifies the effort under other ambulatory health care services, indicating it falls within specialized clinical support rather than traditional facility-based care. The performance location is not specified, suggesting work may be conducted remotely or at various VA sites, and no set-aside provisions are declared, meaning the opportunity is open to all qualified subcontractors. The project underscores a strategic push toward digital transformation in veteran-centric wound care management.
