RFI for Image Sharing Solution

Veterans Integrated Services Network 16 is seeking an image sharing solution to streamline the retrieval of medical images and reports from commercial and private sector providers. The agency is trying to eliminate manual processes, such as calling community care providers and waiting for faxes, by automating data collection and patient matching. This solution must utilize upcoming appointments, procedures, or community consults to automatically pre-fetch relevant images and reports before a care event occurs. The scope of work requires the system to conduct patient matching that automatically links inbound data to an existing patient and generates an order to obtain a Veterans Affairs accession number. The requested solution must handle electronic requests from community care providers, replacing traditional fax communication. Additionally, the system must enable the agency to conduct broadcast queries of private sector providers to locate prior images and reports from community care programs, while facilitating automated order generation and results retrieval. Bidders must perform all work onsite and must operate entirely onshore within the United States. The agency accepts digital submissions of responses via email or through their online portal. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget for this project, and no specific key dates are provided in the initial request.
