NASA/KSC plans to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the following Commercial item/services: NASA Electronic Health Record System (EHRS).
Background of the requirement: NASA is pursing the procurement and implementation of a commercial off the shelf (COTS) Electronic Health Record System (EHRS) to replace its current paper-based medical records. The vendor must provide an operationally functional application with a demonstrated capability to meet the medical, administrative, and regulatory requirements of an Occupational Health (OH) clinic through proven work flow processes. The minimum functional requirements for the application include but are not limited to management of injury and illness, management of medical surveillance and certification programs, management of multiple provider schedules, and seamless interface with medical equipment and external clinical laboratories. The application must be managed from one central location and use the Internet securely as the vehicle for inter-communication at fourteen (14) individual site clinics requiring access to all health records. Internet performance must not be the limiting factor for application processing speed or security. The application must collect all information in one central location for the purpose of redundant information backup and sub-population level query. The key objectives of the EHRS include the following:
1. Standardization of healthcare delivery across all NASA clinics
2. Improved effectiveness of identifying and managing occupational health issues in the workplace
3. Compliance with Federal regulations and OH standards
4. Metrics-based management of OH elements
5. A market valuation of services provided
The application’s process design, data modeling, and system validation will be performed once with implementation at each site clinic performed on a rolling schedule.
