BACKGROUND General Project Description The mission of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is to provide excellent healthcare services to veterans of the United States. The National Acquisition Centers, National Contracting Division, Contracting Office (NAC) is seeking competitive proposals from prospective contractors to provide, install and implement a turnkey VISN 11 Cardiology Information PACS System solution. This will be a straight purchase acquisition. Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) have been acquired and implemented in various configurations within VHA. It is beneficial to establish a standardized VISN-wide PACS with a common interface standard in order to, at a minimum, facilitate the care of patients referred amongst facilities within VISN 11, to ensure interface compatibility with the Veterans Health Information and Technology Architecture (VistA) and to share technical equipment expertise within VISN 11 straight purchase systems. The adoption of PACS in VHA is now nearly universal. PACS speeds health care decisions by making images available anywhere in the medical facility as soon as the image is acquired. PACS were initially acquired as independent systems at each Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical center. The process of transferring a study from one independent VA medical center PACS to another is laborious. It requires an order for the study to be placed at the second medical center, which results in duplicate medical record entry. More recently PACS have been acquired as a single system for the entire VISN. In this configuration, images are automatically shared across the VISN eliminating the need for an order to be placed in multiple VistA systems. In order to ensure this multi-facility interoperability, an enhanced HL7 interface has been developed. This interface improves on the older interface by ensuring that truly unique case numbers and study instances are generated by VistA. Unique identification is necessary to ensure compliance with the Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) standard and is necessary when VISN 11 decides to transmit all studies to a Vendor Neutral and/or national archive. Competition for this RFQ shall be restricted to Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Digital Imaging Network Picture Archive and Communications Systems (DIN PACS) III contract holders who are awardees as of the due date for receipt of offers. DIN-PACS III awardees may submit a bid, however, the successful offeror must be on the approved HL7 list at the time of the offer due date. Please use the following link for additional information: https://www.va.gov/IMAGING/HL7.asp. The VA will reject any proposals that are not HL7 approved at the time of the offer due date. The VA will not return such proposals and will dispose of them. Vendors will be allowed to make site visits for information purposes only. The Government will not be under any obligations at the time of vendors' site visits. Site visit will only be for information, questions, answering, oral presentations, and demo sessions. Purpose of Project Replace disparate Cardiac Catheterization and Echocardiography image management systems with a single, comprehensive VISN 11 Cardiology Information PACS System that provides open access to image interpretation and comparison, image capturing workstations, acquisition, viewing, archiving, and structured reporting regardless of where exams are performed. This shall include the software application and licenses, relevant hardware, including but not limited to VISN 11 redundant central archive medical device server, local servers, and local workstations, interfaces to medical devices, interfaces to VA's CPRS/ VistA, and interfaces to other systems. The scope of this initiative includes seven Medical Centers within VISN 11. This project enables VISN 11 to consolidate cardiology studies and patient monitoring sources on a standard computerized format, facilitating multiple data type integration from a diverse range of cardiology modalities and systems. 1.1.1A migration plan with associated costs and timeline for comprehensive storage of existing digital archives (includes CDs) with verification of data - ability to read and migrate DICOM compatible CDs to a Vendor Neutral Archive without Vendor propriety tags. The total migration capacity of existing systems is approximately 20TB. 1.1.2The proposed system solution shall provide a single point-of-access to unify data across the cardiac care continuum including: 1.1.2.1.1Multiple Care Venues - Cardiac specialty hospitals and centers, catheterization and EP laboratories, cardiac ultrasound, ECG, stress and Holter, cardiovascular surgery, emergency departments, cardiologist offices, congestive heart failure and lipid clinics. 1.1.2.1.2Multiple Imaging Modalities - Cardiac ultrasounds, nuclear medicine, computed tomography, x-ray angiography, magnetic resonance, computed and digital radiography. 1.1.2.1.3Interface Capabilities - Hemodynamics, pacemaker and ICD systems, patient monitoring devices, infusion devices, laboratory reference labs, ECG units and stress machines. How Project Relates To Other Projects All proposals must be fully compatible with a separate vendor neutral archive. Where Is Work Being Performed This proposal calls for the acquisition, installation, training and maintenance and interfacing with several common echo machine manufacturers of all cardiology equipment as well as all Cardiac Catheterization equipment within VISN 11.
