Vendor’s Questions

1) What is he average daily census for the outpatient visits?

10-12

2) If there is no inpatient coverage needed, then who provides that for the oncology patients admitted. Also what is the call rotation?

Oncology only provides inpatient consultation service. Oncology patients are admitted to general medicine/hospitalist teams with University of New Mexico interns and residents.

Call is 1 in 3. 1 week on, 2 weeks off. During the day, each oncologist covers their own patients who are admitted.

3) What type of multi-disciplinary support is present, like radiation oncologist, surgical oncologist, interventional radiologist (for chemo port placement, bone marrow biopsy etc.)

Radiation oncology is mainly provided by the University of New Mexico. Depending on distance and patient’s preference, the VA will approve radiation oncology care at nearby towns. There are surgery and interventional radiology services here. Interventional radiology places all porta caths and do all bone marrow biopsies. More difficult surgical cases (e.g., hepatobiliary, complex neck dissection and breast reconstruction are done at the University). Pulmonary can do EBUS and GI can do EUS with biopsies here or at the University, depending on physicians’ schedule (many here are also faculty at UNM and work at both places).

4) Total number of Hem/Oncs on call?

5) Inpatient and outpatient? If inpatient is included, what is the daily inpatient census?

Most inpatient consults are one-and-done, with setup for follow up in clinic. Rarely do we have to follow any inpatient daily. At most, there will be 1 inpatient census daily.

6) Consults?

At most, 1 inpatient consult per day.

7) How often are physicians called in to the facility while on call?

During the week, almost never. On weekends, maybe once every 2-3 months. Most off-hour and weekend calls are handled by phone.

8) Are candidate resumes and certifications required as part of the bid proposal?

Please provide a brief, and detailed summary of each candidate illustrating their certifications.

Each summary no more than two (2) pages per candidate.

9) Is a current incumbent under this effort?

No current contract for these services.

10) Is this solicitation only for service-disabled veterans?

Yes, this is Set-Aside for SDVOSBs.
