Notice ID: 36C25520Q0148
The patient identification solution shall provide the ability to view and print patient wristbands, labels and wristband/label combination sheets within hospital wards and outpatient clinics where services and treatments are. This solution shall VistA electronic data transfer of patient information and Veterans Health Identification Card’s photo for inclusion on the wristband and labels. VistA data transfer shall be required for both integrated and non-integrated VistA systems in use in the medical center. The contractor shall provide all resources necessary to accomplish the deliverables described in this Performance Work Statement (PWS). The patient ID wristband system will enhance patient safety, minimize errors, and streamline processes. The end result of this contract will be a patient ID wristband system capable of printing patient identification outputs specified by the medical center.
The John J Pershing VA Medical Center currently utilizes VistA wristband printing. However, the patient identification wristband system that is described in this PWS, uses patient identification wristband software that provides color photographs, barcodes, color standardization and warning indicators to ensure the proper synchronization of patients and treatment. The software will fill all label identification needs, including chart, specimen and medications. The software application will need to interface to both VistA and the VHIC (National VHIC website) and can provide enhanced patient safety options while enhancing existing patient safety initiatives with the existing VistA/BCMA infrastructure (hardware, communications or software) in compliance with all VA directives and policies.
