Notice ID: 36C26223Q1452
Description
The purpose of this contract is to provide VISN 22 with a peer-to-peer image sharing system (software) to include software, training, and support on a firm fixed price basis with four option years. The Mission Act has made it possible for Veterans to seek diagnostic imaging services outside of the VA. As a result, diagnostic results, which are in the form of Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) images and textual reports, need to be couriered back to the VA for further patient care. As it exists currently, CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs are handcarried or mailed to and from the VA at the completion of a diagnostic test; this causes bottlenecks and delays in the continuity of Veteran care. There has also been a delay in archiving the images, delivered to the ordering provider by the patient who diligently obtains the requested images from the outside provider on a CD-ROM…
