“Scope of Work: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is conducting market research across industry to identify contractor support that will assist VA in standardizing local implementation of interfaces across the 172 VA Medical Centers (VAMCs) which span every state and the District of Columbia in the Continental United States (CONUS) and those Outside of CONUS (OCONUS) in U.S. states and territories, to include Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico…”
“For the scope of this effort, VA has developed 21 interfaces between VA systems and the new Electronic Health Record (EHR). These interfaces have been deployed to production at two (2) VAMCs.”
“VA intends to establish a standardized, repeatable process of implementing the interfaces across all 172 VAMCs as part of the EHR multi-year, wave deployment methodology.”
“Technical Background: The initial interface effort required development/ configuration to occur on the EHR side (A Side) and VA system side (B Side). The VA-side interface configurations are sitespecific and are required to convert a site from Veteran Integrated System Technology Architecture (VistA) to the new EHR.”
“Interfaces identified as deployed to production include a subset of interfaces that require local configuration at each site. Not all interfaces require B side configurations. The local configuration effort covers the following: review of the design with each site to ensure there is no significant deviation from the enterprise configuration, connectivity to Pre-Production and Production environments, configuration/build, smoke testing, interface solution testing (IST) testing, integration validation 1 & 2 events, and cutover to production.”
“The Contractor shall perform VA-side configuration of previously developed, tested, and deployed interfaces…”
