STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW) Background The Eastern Oklahoma Veterans Health Care System has a preexisting contract with VECNA, which is the VA s only kiosk provider at this time. We currently contract with VECNA to provide the software that runs the kiosks as well as provides routine support and troubleshooting of kiosks and replacement of any kiosks that are unable to be repaired. VECNA now offers additional functionality using new workflows that offer new features that became available after software upgrades to the existing servers that we currently utilize were implemented. Displays were not originally available when our facility adopted the kiosk system years ago. We are now ready to implement some of these new functionalities using the displays in conjunction with the activation of the new Tulsa Health Care Center (THCC). The server that will house these upgraded workflows and which these displays will also be connected, is an existing server that our facility has had an ongoing contract with VECNA to support for years. This is only an upgrade to services and equipment we already have a contract with VECNA to supply. Objective Build new workflows that allow for handoffs between MSA s, Nurses, and Providers from the initial the check in process through to the final checkout process. Install 2 new displays in each PACT team area to allow all staff to be able to see where each patient is in the workflow. Ensure that the wayfinding system is in place that works with the new workflows, clinics setups, user profiles, and kiosk groups within Vetlink for the new THCC. Scope Implementation of the new workflows for all services at the new THCC facility. The new workflows will address handoffs between staff and will also support the additional functionality of wayfinding, a feature that gives veterans directions to each clinic in the facility, via a printed ticket after completing the initial check-in process on a kiosk. The displays are needed so that providers can easily see when those handoffs have taken place and help them to identify the location of the patient needing to be seen next. Using the new workflows, teams will be able to send notifications to other providers that additional services are needed before a patient is checked out, example, nutritional consult by a Dietician. The process will allow the staff to come to where the patient is located versus the patient having to travel around to different locations in the clinic to see various staff. Contractor will be responsible for the installation of the displays, the installation will involve the hanging of each display and connecting it to the power and data ports and ensuring that it connects to the Vetlink network and displays the new workflows correctly, and that all buttons that staff need to be able to track patient handoffs are visible. The contractor will be responsible in ensuring that the new workflows allow for seamless handoffs between staff, and that the wayfinding function works correctly. The contactor agrees to work to correct any issues that may arise in the workflows or between workflows and the kiosks/displays. Contractor further agrees to instruct the POC and or their designee in the operation/setup of these new workflows for further implementation across our kiosk system.
