Electronic Health Record System (EHRS)- Vendor Demonstration

Background/Objectives The Department of Defense (DoD) Health Management System Modernization (DHMSM) program is conducting market research in accordance with FAR Parts 10 to assess the current state and capabilities of electronic health record (EHR) products. DoD is contemplating an effort to replace its legacy EHR systems (i.e., Armed Forces Health Longitudinal Technology Application (AHLTA), Composite Health Care System (CHCS), Essentris, and the EHR component of the Theater Medical Information Program (TMIP)) with an "off-the-shelf" enterprise Electronic Health Record System (EHRS). Additional announcements may be posted to accommodate further market research activities. For this specific announcement, DoD is interested in the current state and capabilities of an enterprise EHRS which are available "off-the-shelf" including VistA solutions. Enterprise EHRS are those product(s) or system(s) which provide a patient-centric, point-of-care system for use by clinicians and clinical staff throughout a patient's lifetime healthcare experience. DoD is interested in learning about product(s) that address all patient needs and include EHRS management, patient care plan, decision support, order management, medication, workflow, and documentation management which are positioned to support clinicians in all care environments to include outpatient, inpatient, emergency, intensive, specialty (e.g. OB/GYN, pediatrics, surgical and medicine specialties and subspecialties) and disconnected or remote care. The DoD is also interested in whether an EHRS product has been recognized or rated by third-party commercial research firms such as KLAS or Gartner, whether the product has attained certification and are listed on the Office of the National Coordinator Certified Health IT Product List, if the product has attained at least Stage 1 of Meaningful Use, possesses substantial commercial market share, or has been recognized by third party user surveys as relatively easy to learn, adopt, use and maintain. Interested vendors will be invited to provide an overview and demonstration to the Government of their EHRS product(s) which have been successfully deployed to large-scale, geographically-distributed medical systems and facilities. The purpose of this event is to gather information regarding commercial EHRS capabilities; the information may be utilized in the development of future DoD requirement(s) and/or solicitation(s). Instructions for Interested Parties The Government plans to host demonstrations during the week of 21 October 2013 in the Greater Metropolitan Washington D.C. area.
