Whether in the context of maintaining economic output, the readiness of our military to defend our national security, or paying the debt we owe to those who made sacrifices to do so, a healthy society is the engine for these activities. The Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) recently published its 2020-2025 Federal Health IT Strategic Plan (the - Plan), laying out the Federal Government's role in healthcare and how it uses Health Information Technology (Health IT) to fulfill that role. In short, the Government regulates, purchases, and uses healthcare while also regulating, purchasing, developing, and using Health IT. The Plan further lays out some of the biggest challenges facing the healthcare industry and how the Government plans to use technology to address these and improve health outcomes. Among these are cost growth, capacity in the system, and poor health outcomes especially in areas such as obesity, substance abuse, and mental health. PEO DHMS is a key Federal Health IT partner, and is chartered to deliver the single Electronic Health Record (EHR) and other Health IT for the Departments of Defense (DoD), the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and the United States Coast Guard (USCG). Sitting at the nexus of healthcare and defense, which together account for approximately 40% of that national budget, PEO DHMS is in a unique position to substantially impact strategic challenges facing the nation. National defense, like healthcare, faces challenges in resources, capacity, and capability that can be addressed through innovative technology strategies. In its official Purpose, Goals, and Strategies (PGS) document, PEO DHMS lays out its vision for maximizing its impact on healthcare and defense. While many tend to equate PEO DHMS with EHR, PEO DHMS and its subordinate/partner offices have a considerably broader and continually expanding mission. According to data collected by ONC, EHR adoption across the country is approaching 100% (Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, OCT 2020). The Federal Health IT Strategic Plan looks well beyond core EHR capabilities while PEO DHMS missions are pivoting to provide comprehensive health management, advanced data applications, improved usability, reduced provider/patient burden, and other priorities. PEO DHMS recognizes technology will enable these missions to achieve success. PEO DHMS defines Workforce 3.0 as a self-driven, high-agency talent pool focused on actively enabling PEO DHMS to achieve its strategic vision and the strategic vision of its subordinate organizations. These ambitions must be achieved while continuously and incrementally transforming PEO DHMS into a high-achieving technology organization that can deliver world-class technology. Workforce 3.0 will be a seamless, badge-less team working in concert to achieve the goals necessary to deliver the PEO DHMS vision. The Workforce will include Government employees and military personnel fulfilling inherently governmental functions, providing strategic direction, performance management, and stakeholder engagement. However, Government personnel cannot deliver all capabilities necessary to operate and transform a high-achieving technology company. This contract will form the relationships with industry necessary to deliver those capabilities; subject matter expertise; and related studies, assessments, plans, and models. The Government considers a managed solution to cover the full breadth of digital workforce capabilities from technical, administrative, and organizational, across its subordinate and full partner organizations (e.g., the Federal Electronic Health Record Modernization (FERHM) office, the United States Coast Guard, DHA Health Informatics, etc.). In this manner, a managed solution will enable one seamless workforce where an individual's Agency or employment status does not affect the individual's experience at work and where this condition can easily scale and accommodate fluctuations in demand rapidly. It is an actively managed - stack of capabilities, where the burden does not fall on the Government to execute tactical actions, perform all critical thinking, or specify labor requirements. Additionally, the managed solution must be capable of rapid evolution as the needs of the workforce or cutting-edge technology and capabilities evolve. The overarching outcome desired by PEO DHMS of this effort is that the Workforce will have the same capabilities and talent of a leading-edge technology firm. PEO DHMS will measure the results of contract performance against the extent to which this outcome is satisfied, considering the strategic goals being pursued by its organizations. It is critically important to emphasize that for PEO DHMS to attract/retain the caliber of workforce it requires; solutions should include the full - stack of capabilities and innovative teaming arrangements. Workforce solutions should ensure the - stack contains the most cutting-edge private-sector ideas and methodologies throughout. Please see attached solicitation document for more details.
