Comprehensive Medical Services

The Kentucky Department of Corrections in Frankfort, Kentucky is seeking a vendor to provide comprehensive medical services for inmates. The agency aims to reduce costs related to offsite care, security, and inmate transport by increasing the use of alternative delivery methods such as telehealth. The agency also requires an increased focus on preventive care to identify and address health problems early, thereby avoiding emergencies and lowering overall medical costs. The scope of work covers the administration of health care services, vision screenings, dental care, mental health services, diagnostic tests, and laboratory results. The selected vendor must maintain an Electronic Health Record for all inmates containing their medical history, administrative clinical data, and medication administration records. The vendor must also cover all costs associated with the digital imaging of health care records and x-rays, as well as the purchase and installation of any new furniture, non-health care equipment, and health care equipment. Bidders must perform the work offsite and must be located onshore within the United States. The agency is looking for budget proposals to cover these services for a contract period of one year. No specific evaluation criteria or key dates are provided in the procurement details.
