About this file
This document contains questions and answers regarding a Request for Information for COVID-19 Care Plan Management Software as a Service. The RFI seeks information on a cloud-based software solution to manage patient care plans and communication related to COVID-19. Respondents were asked to provide pricing models and any additional proposed services. The Department of Veterans Affairs intends for the software to include patient symptom self-reporting, medication and vital tracking, and care plan actions through a clinician web portal and patient smartphone app. Initial data entry would be done by agency staff when enrolling patients. No incumbent contractor currently provides these services. The response due date for the RFI was extended to October 2, 2020. The RFI does not specify a contract value or set-aside designation, which will depend on information received.
