AI Contract Overview

The Department of Veterans Affairs is exploring the possibility of redefining the existing VistA and Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems as part of an open source software development community. This initiative aims to create a future EHR platform that will serve as a central element among VA product developers, federal agencies, the healthcare IT industry, and the open source community. The platform is intended to introduce advanced features through phased implementation, leveraging the latest development techniques to reduce costs and foster innovation. This effort stems from discussions held at an Enterprise Architecture Summit in September 2010 where health informatics and IT leaders collaborated to identify functional and technical requirements, as well as governance structures needed for VA’s participation in an open source environment. A detailed report outlining necessary actions for this initiative is available for review, and industry and academic partners involved in open source work are encouraged to study the document in preparation for future market research and acquisition activities. Although this notification does not request proposals or information at this time, interested parties may contact the identified contracting officers for further inquiries.
