Description
The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking information from potential contractors on their ability to provide a secure DICOM image sharing solution. The solution should enable electronic, bidirectional exchange of radiology imaging exams and reports with commercial healthcare facilities providing services to VA patients. The system should integrate with VistA Imaging, CPRS, and commercial PACS, and provide automated patient matching, MRN reconciliation, and creation of non-VA orders and VA accession numbers. The solution should also provide a federated search of private sector providers, class II HL7 interfaces, and API/FHIR integrations. The contractor should have experience with automated federated search, patient matching, and electronic requests. The contractor should also have a National MoU/ISA, a National BAA, and an established National S2S connection.
Some key features of the required solution include:
• Bidirectional electronic exchange of DICOM images, radiology reports, and radiology orders
• Peer-to-peer, encrypted, FIPS 140-2 validated data transfer
• Compatibility with VistA Imaging, CPRS, commercial PACS, and Cerner
• Automated patient matching, MRN reconciliation, and creation of non-VA orders and VA accession numbers
• Federated search of private sector providers
• Class II HL7 interfaces and API/FHIR integrations
• No cloud storage, processing, or hosting of VA data
• Unlimited community partner participation at no cost to partners
• Full installation at all VISN 16 facilities
