PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

FOR

Nonclinical Case Management Services

1. General:

1.1 Scope:

The purpose of this requirement is to provide Medical and Dental Non-clinical Case Management and administrative Care Coordinator staffing in support of Individual Medical Readiness (IMR). This requirement is designed to be flexible, responsive, and meets the ever-evolving needs of the government. DoDI 6025.19 establishes aggressive quarterly and annual metric goals for the separate IMR elements and for the overall IMR category of Fully Medically Ready (FMR) soldiers. The ultimate goals are to produce real-time reports based on complete, accurate data. The minimum goal for overall medical readiness is more than 75% of Service members FMR, with the ideal goal being 100%. The Guam Army National Guard (GUARNG) Medical Detachment requires a highly responsive process whereby the government can quickly obtain needed support and services. This PWS reflects existing National Guard Bureau policies and regulations.

1.1.1. Guam Army National Guard, Medical Detachment requires both one case manager and three administrative care coordinator support services. The case management position may be filled at a minimum by either a Registered Nurse (RN), Licensed Vocational/Practical Nurse (LVN/LPN) or Social Worker.

1.1.2. The Contractor shall furnish all labor and services required to provide a wide range of Medical and Dental Non-clinical Case Management and related Medical Administrative support services.

1.1.3 Period of Performance (PoP): The period of performance shall be from 17 August 2016 to 16 August 2017 with an option to renew for four years.

1.2 Background: The Department of Defense (DoD) TRICARE Management Activity (TMA) values all staff involved in the delivery of high-quality care to service members.

In 2009, a Medical Management Guide was issued by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs (ASD [HA]) and TMA, Office of the Chief Medical Officer (OCMO), Population Health and Medical Management Division (PHMMD). The Guide covers the components of a Medical Management (MM) program, including applicable principles, implementation concepts, processes, and tools/databases for Utilization Management (UM), Case Management (CM), and Disease Management (DM). It complements the 2001 DoD Population Health Improvement Plan and Guide published by TMA and the Government Printing Office http://www.tricare.mil/ocmo/download/mhs_phi_guide.pdf.

Under legislative mandates, the ASD (HA) submitted an annual report to Congress regarding healthcare delivery for Military Health System (MHS) beneficiaries. The 2009 report documented the MHS goal to providing high-quality care, improving performance through clinical and process outcomes, and increasing patients’ confidence in the care they receive. The Guide describes crucial components of Medical Management within the MHS, including the link between MM and population health and the dynamics between Utilization Management, Case Management and Disease Management in helping reduce unnecessary or inappropriate services and/or duplication of services. In the military setting, Case Management targets Active Duty Service Members and beneficiaries with complex, multi-system healthcare needs who require care coordination or case management services. Originally, Case Management almost exclusively targeted in-patients with catastrophic illnesses or injuries. However, a number of developments have served to change that strategy; notably:

- The emergence of the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA):

http://www.ncqa.orgorg/.

- The development of accreditation standards by the Utilization Review Accreditation Commission (URAC): http://www.urac.org.

While Case Management continues to focus on catastrophic illness or injury, Case Management practices are also intensely directed at addressing chronic conditions that are more prevalent in the general patient population. Case managers can affect patient outcomes through proactive interventions across multiple healthcare settings.

Additionally, case managers are expected to engage community resources and facilitate ongoing and consistent patient education.

The MHS has three primary goals for Case Management:

- Improve the care, management, and transition of recovering Service members.

- Broaden the application of CM to include those with complex and at-risk needs before the Soldier requires complex care.

- Evaluate the impact of case management on the quality of military health care.

The Army National Guard, recognizing the importance of Medical Readiness after several years of combat deployments, implemented the Case Manager Support Contract in August 2005 as a time and materials contract, not Firm Fixed Price (FFP) and Performance Statement of Work-based. The current contract was originally awarded August 2009 to Skyline Ultd (with 49% subcontract to Sterling Medical).

At the end of FY09, case managers in 31 states were using the medical non-deployable module to manage their case loads. During the period of August 2008 to August 2009, 15,292 cases were put into the module; of these, 6734 were closed by return to duty, fit for duty, or forwarded for an MEB/PEB evaluation. Additionally, readiness increased from 35% fully-ready in FY08 to 44% in FY09. This success resulted from increased targeted funding and a concerted effort by the National Guard Bureau.

On 29 March 2012, the ARNG achieved the Department of Defense (DoD) goal of 75% Fully Medically Ready (FMR) Soldiers per DoD Instruction (DoDI) 6025.19, Individual Medical Readiness (IMR). This monumental accomplishment marked the highest medical readiness percentage the ARNG has achieved in documented history. Over the past year, ARNG readiness has continued to increase to over 80%. Continued utilization of medical case managers is essential to maintaining established medical readiness goals for the ARNG.

1.3 Quality Control (QC): The Contractor shall provide a preliminary Quality Control Plan (QCP) with their proposal. The QCP shall include a detailed discussion of the steps proposed to ensure quality, adherence to schedule, proactive communication and adherence to budget. The QCP shall include a description of corrective action steps to take should the Contractor performance be substandard. An organizational depiction of the project team and chain(s)-of-command shall also be included in the QCP. The QCP shall be submitted as part of the proposal.

1.3.1 Quality Assurance (QA): The Government shall develop and utilize a quality assurance plan. This plan shall be primarily focused on what the Government must do to ensure the contractor has performed in accordance with the performance standards.

It defines how the performance standards will be applied, the frequency of surveillance, and acceptable quality level(s) (defect rate(s)).

1.3.2 Recognized Holidays: The following are recognized US holidays. The contractor is available 365 calendar days a year and is available to perform services on these days if mission requirement warrants the contractor’s attendance.

The Contract employees may be required to travel to execute any missions to support and augment the ARNG consistent with all services described within the PWS as shown below. Specifically, in the event of a mobilization event, the Contractor shall ensure adequate non-clinical case management support is available for travel to locations to best support these activities (i.e. work at armories) as directed by the Contracting Officer. If changes to the original work in this PWS arise during the performance of the contract will notify the COR. If determined to be within the scope of the contract the Contracting Officer will provide 30 calendar day notice to the contractor with full description of the need and request a proposal. The contracting officer will negotiate a modification to the contract to provide this in-scope work effort. Travel to and from the primary worksite will not be reimbursed.

1.3.4.1 Unscheduled gate closures by the Security Police may occur at any time causing all personnel entering or exiting a closed installation to experience a delay. This cannot be predicted or prevented. Contractors are not compensated for unexpected closures or delays. Vehicles operated by contractor personnel are subject to search pursuant to applicable regulations. Any moving violation of any applicable motor vehicle regulation may result in the termination of the contractor employee’s installation driving privileges.

1.3.4.2 The contractor’s employees shall become familiar with and obey the regulations of the installation including fire, traffic, safety and security regulations while on the installation. Contractor employees should only enter restricted areas when required to do so and only upon prior approval. All contractor employees shall carry proper identification with them at all times. The contractor shall ensure compliance with all regulations and orders of the installation which may affect performance.

1.3.5.1 COMSEC/IT Security. All communications with DOD organizations are subject to communications security (COMSEC) review. All telephone communications networks are continually subject to intercept by unfriendly intelligence organizations. DOD has authorized the military departments to conduct COMSEC monitoring and recording of telephone calls originating from, or terminating at, DOD organizations. Therefore, the contractor is advised any time contractor place or receive a call they are subject to COMSEC procedures. The contractor shall ensure wide and frequent dissemination of the above information to all employees dealing with DOD information. The contractor shall abide by all Government regulations concerning the authorized use of the Government's computer network, including the restriction against using the network to recruit Government personnel or advertise job openings.

1.3.5.2 Use of Government Information Systems (IS) and access to Government networks is a revocable privilege, not a right. Users are the foundation of the DoD strategy and their actions affect the most vulnerable portion of the AEI. Contractor employees shall have a favorable background investigation or hold a security clearance and access approvals commensurate with the level of information processed or available on the system. Contractor employees shall: Comply with the command's Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) for Government owned IS and sign an AUP prior to or upon account activation.

1.3.5.4 CAC Requirements: The Common Access Card (CAC) is the Department of Defense (DOD) Federal Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credential. In accordance with Directive Type Memorandum (DTM) 08-003, December 1, 2008, incorporating Change 5, October 8, 2013, Initial issuance of a CAC requires at a minimum, the completion of FBI fingerprint check with favorable results reflecting "No Record" and submission of a National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI) to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), or a DoD-determined equivalent investigation. The issuance of a CAC will be based on four criteria; (a) eligibility for a CAC; (b) verification of DoD affiliation from an authoritative data source; (c) completion of background vetting requirements according to the Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 201-1, Personal Identity Verification (PIV) of Federal Employees and Contractors, March 2006, and DOD Regulation 5200.2-R, Department of Defense Personnel Security Program, January 1987, and (d) verification of a claimed identity.

It is the responsibility of the contractor to ensure all employees requiring an initial background investigation complete a Personnel Security Investigation Portal (PSIP) form at attachment (States complete/revise as applicable), at the earliest possible date and that this form is forwarded to the COR immediately. The COR will review the form for completeness and accuracy and forward to the NGB Personnel Security manager who will initiate the investigation process via the PSIP. Contractor personnel will then receive two e-mail messages; the first will confirm the request has been received by the Office of Personnel Management, and the second will provide instructions for the completion of the appropriate form via the Electronic Questionnaires for Investigations Processing (e-QIP) system. Upon completion of the e-QIP questionnaire and submittal of all required documents, including fingerprint card to the security manager, the BI will be initiated. The contractor shall ensure all instructions regarding background investigation processing, including those provided verbally, by e-mail or via a Government system are complied with immediately. The contractor is cautioned the entire process from submittal of the PSIP form to return of the FBI fingerprint check may routinely take from 2-6 weeks and shall factor this lead time into its hiring/placement process.

QASP

Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP)

1.0 Background: The Department of Defense (DoD) TRICARE Management Activity (TMA) values all staff involved in the delivery of high-quality care to service members. In 2009, a Medical Management Guide was issued by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs (ASD [HA]) and TMA, Office of the Chief Medical Officer (OCMO), Population Health and Medical Management Division (PHMMD). The Guide covers the components of a Medical Management (MM) program, including applicable principles, implementation concepts, processes, and tools/databases for Utilization Management (UM), Case Management (CM), and Disease Management (DM). It complements the 2001 DoD Population Health Improvement Plan and Guide published by TMA and the Government Printing Office http://www.tricare.mil/ocmo/download/mhs_phi_guide.pdf.

1.1 Under legislative mandates, the ASD (HA) submitted an annual report to Congress regarding healthcare delivery for Military Health System (MHS) beneficiaries. The 2009 report documented the MHS goal to providing high-quality care, improving performance through clinical and process outcomes, and increasing patients’ confidence in the care they receive. The Guide describes crucial components of Medical Management within the MHS, including the link between MM and population health and the dynamics between Utilization Management, Case Management and Disease Management in helping reduce unnecessary or inappropriate services and/or duplication of services. In the military setting, Case Management targets Active Duty Service Members and beneficiaries with complex, multi-system healthcare needs who require care coordination or case management services.

1.1.1. Originally, Case Management almost exclusively targeted in-patients with catastrophic illnesses or injuries. However, a number of developments have served to change that strategy; notably: - The emergence of the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA): http://www.ncqa.orgorg/ and the development of accreditation standards by the Utilization Review Accreditation Commission (URAC):

http://www.urac.org. While Case Management continues to focus on catastrophic illness or injury, Case Management practices are also intensely directed at addressing chronic conditions that are more prevalent in the general patient population. Case managers can affect patient outcomes through proactive interventions across multiple healthcare settings. Additionally, case managers are expected to engage community resources and facilitate ongoing and consistent patient education.

1.1.2 The MHS has three primary goals for Case Management:

- Improve the care, management, and transition of recovering Service members.

- Broaden the application of CM to include those with complex and at-risk needs before the Soldier requires complex care.

- Evaluate the impact of case management on the quality of military health care.

The Army National Guard, recognizing the importance of Medical Readiness after several years of combat deployments, implemented the Case Manager Support Contract in August 2005 as a time and materials contract, not Firm Fixed Price (FFP) and Performance Statement of Work-based. The current contract was originally awarded August 2009 to Skyline Ultd (with 49% subcontract to Sterling Medical).

At the end of FY09, case managers in 31 states were using the medical non-deployable module to manage their case loads. During the period of August 2008 to August 2009, 15,292 cases were put into the module; of these, 6734 were closed by return to duty, fit for duty, or forwarded for an MEB/PEB evaluation. Additionally, readiness increased from 35% fully-ready in FY08 to 44% in FY09. This success resulted from increased targeted funding and a concerted effort by the National Guard Bureau.

On 29 March 2012, the ARNG achieved the Department of Defense (DoD) goal of 75% Fully Medically Ready (FMR) Soldiers per DoD Instruction (DoDI) 6025.19, Individual Medical Readiness (IMR).

This monumental accomplishment marked the highest medical readiness percentage that the ARNG has achieved in documented history. Over the past year, ARNG readiness has continued to increase to over 80%. Continued utilization of medical case managers is essential to maintaining established medical readiness goals for the ARNG.

2.0 Purpose: This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan is a government-developed document used to determine if the contractor’s performance meets the performance standards contained in the contract. The QASP establishes procedures on how this assessment/inspection process will be conducted. It provides the detailed process for a continuous oversight process:

- What will be monitored

- How monitoring will take place

- Who will conduct the monitoring

- How monitoring efforts and results will be documented

2.1 The contractor is responsible for implementing and delivering performance that meets contract standards using its Quality Control Plan. The QASP provides the structure for the government’s surveillance of the contractor’s performance to assure that it meets contract standards. It is the government’s responsibility to be objective, fair and consistent in evaluating contractor performance.

2.2 The QASP is not part of the contract nor is it intended to duplicate the contractor’s quality control plan. This QASP is a living document. Flexibility in the QASP is required to allow for an increase or decrease in the level of surveillance necessary based on contractor performance.

2.3 The government may provide a copy of the QASP to the contractor to facilitate open communication.

In addition, the QASP should recognize that unforeseen or uncontrollable circumstances might occur that are outside the control of the contractor.

2.4 Bottom line, the QASP should ensure early identification and resolution of performance issues to minimize impact on mission performance.

2.4.1 Authority

Authority for issuance of this QASP is provided under Part 46 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation, Inspection of Services clauses, which provide for inspection, acceptance and documentation of the service called for in the contract or order. This acceptance is to be executed by the contracting officer or a duly authorized representative.

2.4.2 Roles and Responsibilities

The following personnel shall oversee and coordinate surveillance activities.

2.4.2.1 Program/Project Manager (PM) – The PM (if the individual’s supervisor) nominates (or request the individual’s supervisory nominate the COR using VCE-COR or as directed by the Contracting Officer based upon the dollar value of the action. The PM/Supervisor ensures the COR is meets all COR training requirement outlined by the Contracting Office for the action before taking action regarding the nomination of the COR. The contract shall not be awarded until a qualified COR is appointed in writing by the Contracting Officer. The PM/Supervisor is not authorized to perform any COR duties but provides support to help the COR properly provide the necessary federal government oversight needed. The PM/Supervisor is required to include the performance of the COR in the COR/s annual performance rating. While the PM may serve as a direct conduit to provide Government guidance and feedback to thru the COR to the Contractor on technical matters, they are not empowered to make any contractual commitments or any contract changes on the government’s behalf. It is highly recommended the PM/Supervisor also nominate an alternate COR.
