The testing helps to determine causes of unexplained bleeding or clotting, and aides in monitoring blood thinning medications in outpatient phlebotomy and at the CBOCs.

Policies, procedures, and staff training (over 40 employees including nurses and lab staff) have all taken place on these instruments. Providers are familiar with the reference ranges of results generated by these instruments, and removal of these instruments at this time would negatively impact the lab's and CBOC's ability to provide quality, timely care to its veteran patients The laboratory is including estimated annual volumes for all testing (see attachment 1). Patient testing cannot be performed until validation testing is performed. The intent of the projected RFQ is a firm-fixed price 3-year contract to include the following locations: The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 18 - New Mexico VA Health Care System (NMVAHCS), 1501 San Pedro Drive SE, Albuquerque, NM.
