3.1 Scope of Acquisition
The scope of this acquisition includes procurement, implementation, and support for a commercially-available Best-of-Suite Health IT replacement of the RPMS. IHS endeavors to retire its RPMS health information technology platform and replace it with an enterprise health information technology solution. This will be an enterprise instance, centrally managed and governed solution that accommodates participation by numerous Tribal and Urban Indian healthcare organizations alongside the IHS in a multi-tenant environment. IHS seeks a Health IT solution that uses modern technologies and incorporates best practice clinical and business processes to improve health care outcomes. This includes the installation, implementation, training, integration, optimization, and sustainment of recommended solutions, strategies, and equipment (procured by the Contractor or provided by the Government). The procurement of limited ancillary items (e.g., hardware/software, minor cabling, network drops, etc.) may be allowed on a case-by-case basis when determined to be most efficient to prepare the site for the deployment of the EHR solution.
