- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Centers for Chronic Disease Prevention & Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Division of Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention (DHDSP) contemplate award of a Firm Fixed Price Sole Source Purchase Order to National Committee for Quality Assurance. The work shall be performed at the Contractor's facility. The Period of Performance shall be for one year, August 15, 2012 - August 14, 2013. The North American Industrial Classification Standards (NAICS) Code is 541611 Standard Business Size of $14M. The sole source award will be conducted in accordance with FAR Part 13.106-1(b) only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirement. This requirement is a continuation of services already provide and is not set aside for small businesses. The National Committee for Quality Assurance(NCQA) has access to Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) data collection and Heart/Stroke Recognition Program. The data includes outcome data by provider and health plan and allows NCQA to identify and contact providers and health plans with outstanding performance. The vendor shall develop a semi-structured interview guide to assess best practices, polices and processes, quality improvement interventions, barriers and facilitators to improvement in preventive care for cardiovascular disease, particularly controlling high blood pressure. For the HEDIS, NCQA staff has access to the following data elements for each measure that is not available to other organizations that purchase or license HEDIS data from NCQA: eligible population, number of exclusions, numerator, denominator, etc. For this project, NCQA would use these data elements to perform analysis to identify commercial, Medicaid and Medicare health plans with statistically significant high performance. Other organizations could not perform this analysis with the data available to them. Additionally, NCQA will include in its analysis the performance of plans that select not to publicly report results. For example, in 2011, NCQA collected HEDIS data from 419 commercial health plan products that served more than 95 million cover lives. 386 of these health plans have allowed NCQA to include their HEDIS rates in our information products, while 33 plans selected not to publicly report. In 2011, NCQA also collected HEDIS data from 189 Medicaid plans with 62 plans choosing not to publicly report. NCQA also administers the Heart/Stroke Recognition Program, established in 2003. NCQA staff has access to the performance measure results used in the program to recognize physician practices. Information on the performance on specific clinical indicators of prevention of cardiovascular disease and stroke are only available to NCQA. The contractor shall provide identify high performing primary and specialty practices and health plans, to document effective clinical practices, policies or procedures, and share key elements to promote the scaling and spreading of best practices. The contractor shall possess the following qualifications: Have access to complete and current data to this project.
