RFI for Teleradiology Services

The government authority in Portland, Oregon is seeking a supplemental teleradiology provider to deliver Board Certified Radiology Physician Services on an as-needed basis. The agency requires this service to ensure essential patient care by providing radiological examination interpretations after hours, as well as serving as an on-demand backup during normal working hours. This 24/7/365 service must cover after hours, weekend hours, holiday hours, and business hours, with approximately 13,000 procedures expected to be performed during after-hours times. The scope of work requires the capability to provide specialty and subspecialty interpretations of Diagnostic Imaging procedures. The requested service must include 24/7/365 in-house IT support, Joint Commission and ACR certified internal peer review and credentialing mechanisms, and dedicated communication support staff to help communicate results to referring providers. The agency also requires web-based access with single-number 24/7/365 support provided through a connection that is capable of speeds of 10 Gig per second and has redundancy to maintain connectivity during primary connection malfunctions. Eligibility is limited to onshore organizations based in the United States of America. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget for this project.
