Description

VHA Office of Health Information (OHI) OHI12-1-JIV-23 Federal Health Care Center (FHCC) Business Process Reengineering (BPR) 1.INTRODUCTION This Sources Sought notice is for information and planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a solicitation or as an obligation on the part of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The VA is currently conducting market research to locate qualified, experienced, and interested potential sources. Responses will not be considered as proposals, nor will any award be incurred by interested parties in responding to this sources sought announcement. The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is seeking interested sources (contractors) for a near-future solicitation and procurement for the Office of Informatics & Analytics (OIA). At this time, no solicitation exists. Therefore please do not request a copy of the solicitation. 2.BACKGROUND Developing a joint Federal Health Care Center (FHCC) between Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Department of Department of Defense (DoD) was a major, five year initiative with high visibility for both Departments. The joint facility now operating in North Chicago, IL provides a template by which future joint healthcare initiatives can be modeled. Several integrated software solutions were developed to support the joint provision of health care using disparate electronic health records (EHR). VA and DoD clinical systems were designed specifically for the populations each Department services, and much of the functionality was developed to meet each agency's unique mission. The business processes the EHRs support have become tightly bound to the EHR functionality. To conjoin the policies and procedures of each local business area, the alterations to process flows must be scrutinized to yield the intended efficiencies. A proper analysis of business processes will enlighten local joint working groups to make informed decisions, and develop an effective business strategy. This task order will enable Business Process Reengineering (BPR) to escalate the efforts of process improvement methodologies (e.g., TQM, Six Sigma, etc.) to make process orientation a strategic tool and a core competence of the organization. Business processes are essential to gauge performance and customer satisfaction and to improve patient safety and the better provision of quality healthcare. 3.OBJECTIVES The Contractor shall provide professional services for the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, Department of the Navy, DoD. The Contractor shall provide facilitation to elicit end user input from multiple perspectives, business process modeling and analysis, and consulting subject matter expertise in order to strengthen and improve the FHCC's ability to utilize Health Information Management/Health Information Systems (HIM/HIS) solutions deployed by clinicians and other health care providers.
