My Recovery Plan, MyHealtheVet Office of Informatics and Analytics Request for Information: VA701-12-I-0364 August 3, 2012 I. Introduction: This 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 "My Recovery Plan" support for the Office of Informatics and Analytics. At this time, no solicitation exists. Therefore, DO NOT REQUEST A COPY OF THE SOLICITATION. II. Background: The mission of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Office of Mental Health Services (OMHS) is to maintain and improve the health and well-being of Veterans through excellence in health care, social services, education, and research. The MyHealtheVet (MHV) portal is VA's e-health website, which offers Veterans, active duty service members, their dependants and caregivers anywhere, anytime Internet access to VA healthcare information and services. Launched nationwide in 2003, MHV is a free, online Personal Health Record that empowers Veterans to become informed partners in their healthcare. With MHV, America's Veterans can access trusted, secure, and current health and benefits information as well as record and store important health and military history information at their convenience. The My Recovery Plan (MRP) application, which resides within the MHV portal, was born out of the notion that stigma associated with seeking treatment for mental health disorders has prevented and could continue to prevent some Veterans from seeking appropriate treatment at Department of Defense (DoD) and VA facilities. There is a significant incidence among Veterans of post-deployment mental health problems, especially among members of reserve components who return as Veterans to civilian life. Computer based self guided training has been demonstrated to be an effective strategy for supplementing the care of psychological conditions. Younger Veterans, especially those who served in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom, are comfortable with and proficient at computer based technology. Veterans living in rural areas may find limited access to treatment for substance use disorder. Self assessment and treatment options for substance use disorders through an Internet website may reduce stigma and provides additional access for individuals seeking care and treatment for such disorders. The MRP application allows Veterans who receive VA mental health services to organize and track all of the information relevant to their recovery. MRP consists of a set of web-based tools that allows Veterans who have behavioral or mental health concerns to track important aspects of their self-care and professional care. Further development and support of MRP will allow Veterans to: a.Set individual recovery goals, break these goals down into concrete tasks, and monitor their progress towards goal attainment. b.Track the frequency and severity of psychiatric symptoms, medication side effects as well as quality of life and level of functioning c.Access customized high quality interactive content that is appropriate for the individual Veterans diagnosis and complementary to the evidence-based mental health services delivered by VA clinicians. III. Requirements: This task order is to provide support for My Recovery Plan (MRP) Projects. These projects include Medication Monitoring and Tracking, My Goals, My Courses, My Outcomes and a MRP Dashboard. This work effort requires six (6) tasks which together will result in the additional development of the MRP application to a user friendly, feasible, and marketable tool for Veteran's with mental health issues and the larger Veteran population.
