RFP - Interoperability and Patient Access System (IPAS)

The District of Columbia Department of Health Care Finance is seeking proposals to design, develop, and host an Interoperability and Patient Access System (IPAS) that will enable seamless exchange of health data across providers and improve patient access to their records. The work includes consulting services to assess current systems, develop custom software solutions, and provide ongoing web‑based hosting as an Application Service Provider. This effort will likely involve integration with existing health IT platforms, ensuring compliance with privacy and security regulations, and delivering a user‑friendly portal for patients and providers. • Design and implement an interoperable platform that connects disparate health information systems. • Provide consulting expertise for workflow analysis, system integration, and regulatory compliance. • Deliver a web‑based, hosted application (ASP) that offers patient portals, data exchange APIs, and reporting tools. • Offer ongoing support, maintenance, and performance monitoring for the hosted solution. • Ensure adherence to federal and DC health IT standards (e.g., HIPAA, HL7/FHIR).
