Questions in Answers (answers in red):

What is the make and model of the current monitors at each location?

Varied makes and models.

What is the distribution of monitors mounted at the patient headwall via a swing arm and at the patient footwall across the room?

We did not request a solicitation for monitors at this time.

What connections are available at each of the 400 locations? Specifically coax, power and CAT6A?

CAT 6A is specified in SOW.

Can the government provide a breakdown of the 400 beds by: acute care, ED, Dialysis, Oncology, waiting area, CLC, DOM ect.

Bedside monitors that are inpatient, emergency department, and CLC. Other common room monitors are for common areas including dialysis, infusion center, oncology clinic, and other common areas.

Should the vendor have experience integrating with Cerner as well as VistA/CPRS? If yes, how should that be documented in the proposal?

SOW answered:

b. Core Requirements

1) HL7 Interface must be established to prove solution can communicate with VISTA CPRS and

CERNER health records.

2) Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) ISA must be established to prove services can achieve interconnection.

All of the government is on a path to cloud deployments and the only way to connect to Oracle/Cerner in the near future will be an enterprise authority to connect with Cerner. In light of this should vendors be proposing a FedRAMP approved solution?

Modifications will be made after any governmental decisions are made and distributed that are aligned with any updated requirements.

The government states the overall goal of JLPVAMC is to reduce readmissions. Should the vendor be able to provide multiple examples of how their platform has achieved this at other VAMCs?

Vendor should have capability to allow clinicians to view individual patient history of what education was assigned, whether or not the veteran completed the assigned education, and have the ability to evaluate whether or not the veteran learned the material.

As the government's goal is stated to reduce specific readmission rates, what are LL VAMC's top 20 admission diagnoses?

The admission rates that we will be focused on initially are the same as the Hospital Readmissions

Reduction Program (HRRP).

How many outpatients do you anticipate using this system?

All veterans in JLP VAMC catchment area, at least 80,000 lives.
