B.4 PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

1.0 BACKGROUND

The mission of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Office of Electronic Health Record Modernization (OEHRM) is to provide benefits and services to Veterans of the United States. In meeting these goals, OEHRM strives to provide high quality, effective, and efficient information technology (IT) services to those responsible for providing healthcare to the Veterans in an effective, timely and compassionate manner. VA depends on Information Management/Information Technology (IM/IT) systems to meet mission goals.

On May 17, 2018, the VA announced it had signed a contract with Cerner Government Services, Inc. (Cerner) to replace its Electronic Health Record (EHR) with Cerner’s EHR solution. The change will modernize the VA’s health care IT system and help provide seamless care to Veterans as they transition from military service to Veteran status, and when they choose to seek care outside the VA. Further, the VA agreed to operate an electronic health record modernization (EHRM) system with the Department of Defense (DoD) which also uses Cerner Millennium as the core of Military Health System (MHS) GENESIS – the DoD’s EHR.

The VA’s current EHR is the Veterans Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA). VistA’s architecture consists of more than 160 clinical applications and many non-clinical applications which support infrastructure and financial management functions. These applications interoperate, and all applications are integrated within a single database. The VA operates 130 instances of VistA.

To support the transition to the new EHRM system, the VA must migrate patient data from the legacy VistAs and synchronize the data throughout the 10-year transition. In addition, VA data must remain synchronized across all current EHR and non-EHR VA and external applications to enable access to the data allowing support for health care research, quality and performance management and reporting, and other data driven activities.

To that end, the VA has defined the Veterans Data Integration and Federation (VDIF) architecture. VDIF shall provide secure, high performance, governed access to EHRM system data and VistA Legacy data allowing multiple instances and the entire enterprise access to federated data. Federated data allows interoperability and information sharing between organizations with the ability to aggregate data from disparate sources in a virtual database so it can be used for Business Intelligence (BI) or other analysis. VDIF will support the integration of VistA data and EHRM system data with Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) and non-COTS products requiring:

The integration addresses access from legacy client-server applications and new applications based on a wide variety of technologies. It will also support the VA’s Excellence in the 21st Century approach to healthcare by implementing tools that enforce a data-driven approach for ongoing tracking, monitoring, and measurement of patient performance, and allow for the continuous analysis and design of treatment modalities.

To support the migration of patient data from the legacy VistA to the new EHRM system and to facilitate Health Information Exchange (HIE) within VA and with external partners, the VA has established the VDIF Enterprise Platform (EP) which serves as middleware (a HIE) for federating VA patient data. The VDIF is hosted on a VA HealthShare suite of applications.
