MEDICAL DIRECTOR SERVICES

Overview

NASA requires a professional OHS program in accordance with NASA Procedural Requirement (NPR) 1800.1, NASA Occupational Health Program Procedures, that complies with all regulatory standards including Federal, State, and local requirements.

NASA’s Occupational Health Services (OHS) program provides initial care for NASA employees, users’ / tenants’ employees, and visitors who become ill or injured while on-site, as well as health services to maintain and improve the health of NASA employees and contractors with a focus on the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and care of illness and injuries caused or aggravated by the work environment. The Medical Director is the final medical technical authority for all medical issues. General clinic operations are not the responsibility of the Medical Director.

The major area of service provided within this PWS section is Medical Director oversight of the OHS program.

The Contractor shall:

Provide an Occupational Health Physician (OHP) to support the SSC Occupational Health Clinic on a five (5)-day-per-week basis to fulfill the overall mission of performing Medical Director services.

Perform Medical Director services during Clinic core business hours.

Provide an OHP to serve as Medical Director of the SSC Occupational Health Clinic.

Support occupational medicine and environmental health operations that comply with all regulatory standards, including Federal, state and local requirements, to ensure a healthy work environment.
