Notice ID: 36C24521Q0466
The Government requires a contractor to provide data abstraction support. This includes the review, identification, and relevancy of medical and related clinical data from medical records and other medical documentation from a variety of Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) sources. The relevant data, either handwritten, textual and/or digital is extracted into the Defense and Veterans Eye Injury and Vision Registry (DVEIVR). DVEIVR is a web based ocular care clinical data repository. It is a joint initiative between the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs’ vision care communities. It is a location for both DoD and VA’s eye care community including clinical providers, researchers and academia to review and research data collected on eye care diagnosis, surgical intervention, operative procedures, visual acuity, and treatment for our service members and veterans injured in battle. The data from the DVEIVR shall be used to establish mechanisms to identify and longitudinally track data and assess eye related injuries and diseases of Service members and Veterans to support the Vision Center of Excellence (VCE) and the vision care communities in completing analyses and studies.
The data abstraction services required under this contract includes supporting the Government with the data abstraction of medical records, related training requirements and knowledge transfer, business processes, including drafting Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), and developing business logic/rules associated with the data entry from medical records into digital data values located in DVEIVR.
The Government understands that these are iterative processes that may expand over time; however, a well-documented and supported foundation of processes with associated SOP shall ensure successful data abstraction and data integrity.
The objective is to provide data abstraction, training, and quality review and monitoring. The conversion of medical records into digital data shall be used to establish mechanisms to longitudinally track eye related injuries and diseases to support the VCE in completing studies and analysis related to readiness, treatment, best practices, and to inform policy.
