PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

SIMULATED PATIENT SERVICES

Part 1 General Information

1.0 General: Implement the use of Simulated Patients (SP) to enhance Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center’s (TATRC) ability to provide multimodule simulations for military medical research focused on casualty care.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: This is a non-personal service(s) contract to provide personnel, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform Simulated Patient Services as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS)

1.2 Background: Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC) facilitates medical research and development that focuses on new medical technologies to optimize Warfighter performance and casualty care. Medical Modeling Simulation Information and Visualization (MMSIV), a division within TATRC, provides high-fidelity simulations to integrate medical sensors that collect patient data from the simulated casualties.

Simulated Patients (SP) play a vital role in the data collection research efforts that measure vitals using physiological recording equipment being that they are live participants. SP participation not only helps tests the utilization of a sensor, but also provides another modality of simulation to create a more realistic and immersive experience for the Warfighter participating in the research.

Simulated Patients (SP) are expected to role play as casualties in various combat environments where they portray behaviors that correlate with a given scenario. This includes but is not limited to acting out different levels of consciousness, providing appropriate responses to medic participant interventions, and operating simulated prosthesis.

In a simulated combat environment, SPs are subject to loud noises, different levels of lighting and varying temperatures. SPs will be made-up with moulage or medical makeup to portray various injury patterns that may be graphic in nature.

TATRCs simulation events concentrate on combat medicine necessitating SPs to have the appearance of military-aged personnel and military weight standards. As active participants in research, a consistent group of SPs is imperative for the purposes of standardization.

There are no targets for specific genders, races, or ethnicities. TATRC is seeking to make the data collected as generalizable to actual patient care scenarios as possible.

1.3 Scope: The Contractor shall provide non-personal service(s). The Contractor shall provide Simulated Patients recruitment and payroll. Supply Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC) with qualified and vetted Simulated Patients that correlate with given scenarios or simulation events put on by TATRC with notice from the MMSIV Division.

1.4 Objectives

a. Contractor shall provide Simulated Patients (SP) that meet the demographic criteria of a given scenario or simulation event.

b. Contractor shall provide Simulated Patients for TATRC scheduled events with notice no later than two weeks out from MMSIV Division.

c. Contractor shall curate, maintain, and provide a portfolio of Simulated Patients for the purposes of standardization and consistency.

1.5 General Information:
