Description
The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to award a sole source contract to Medicom Technologies Inc. for a peer-to-peer image sharing service. This service will enable the electronic exchange of radiology exams and reports between the VA and community care partners. The contract will be for a base period with 4-year options. The service is expected to minimize delays in care and reduce operational costs associated with Veterans seeking imaging services outside of the VA. The key features of the service include a proprietary peer-to-peer network, automated patient record retrieval, and electronic requests for patient information.
Some key points to consider:
• The service will be deployed through a virtual machine and will require configuration and workflow demonstrations for various departments.
• The service will provide a web portal for end-users to manage data and requests.
• The service will include automated features such as patient matching, outside order generation, and automated federated search.
• The contract is expected to save the VA approximately $1,000,000 per year per medical center.
