The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking information for a pilot program aimed at implementing and evaluating a Community Care Radiotherapy Provider Information and Clinical Referral Support System (CCRPI-CRSS) over one year. The initiative addresses challenges in capturing vital radiotherapy data for veterans treated in community settings, ensuring continuity and enhancing the quality of oncology care. The project includes data gathering on veterans treated through community facilities, establishing workflow efficiencies, and assessing retrospective data extraction possibilities. Key tasks include identifying and extracting comprehensive treatment data, participating in the CCRPI-CRSS development, and delivering performance reports. The successful contractor must have qualified personnel, adherence to data security protocols, and must maintain existing referral processes. Responses to this Request for Information (RFI) are intended for market research purposes to identify capable service-disabled veteran-owned and other small businesses. This notice does not obligate the government to award a contract but aims to inform acquisition decisions.
The Special Notice outlines an amendment to the Statement of Work for a pilot program focused on implementing the Radiation Oncology Community Care Portal. This program, managed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), aims to enhance data capture and continuity of care for Veterans receiving radiation oncology services predominantly in community settings. The contractor is tasked with developing a robust data framework that links treatment data with referrals and ensures quality in oncology care. The contract encompasses a year-long pilot, with potential extension, to capture detailed patient data, including treatment histories and demographics, while engaging with the Community Care Radiotherapy Provider Information and Clinical Referral Support System (CCRPI-CRSS) for operational improvements.
Key deliverables include participation in system development, data extraction from community-based radiotherapy services, and evaluation of workflow efficiencies. Monthly progress reports and assessment documentation are mandated to ensure adherence to quality standards. The document emphasizes the need for precise data collection and secure communication of findings.
This request for information further seeks input from qualified vendors, particularly those with service-disabled veteran ownership, to gauge capabilities for execution. Such initiatives underline the VA's commitment to integrating community care data to enhance overall Veterans' healthcare quality and efficiency.
