All services provided shall be in accordance with The Joint Commission (TJC) standards, the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC), Department of Defense instructions, Air Force Instruction (AFI) 40-701, and the professional standards at the military treatment facility (MTF). These documents are available in the MTF and are maintained by the United States Government. Supplements or amendments to instructions or publications from any organizational level may be issued during the life of the contract. The Contractor shall immediately implement those changes. Contract health care providers (contract personnel) shall give the highest regard to patient dignity and observe the precepts of the American Hospital Association’s Bill of Rights for Patients. The Contractor shall be held accountable for compliance to the standards listed in the Comprehensive Accreditation Manual for Hospitals (CAMH) dated 2017 or current version.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: This is a personal services contract (as defined by FAR Subpart 37.104) and is intended to create an employer-employee relationship between the Government and the individual health care providers only to the extent necessary for providing the health care services required under the contract. The performance of health care services by individuals under a personal services contract are subject to day-to-day supervision and control by health care facility personnel comparable to that exercised over military and civil service individuals engaged in comparable health care services. Any personal injury claims alleging negligence by personnel within the scope of performance of the personal services contract shall be processed by DoD in the same manner as claims alleging negligence by DoD military or civil service personnel. The contract does not create an employer-employee relationship between the Government and any corporation, partnership, business association or other party or legal entity with which the individual may be associated. The authority for this contract is Title 10 United States Code (USC) 1089 and Title 10 USC 1091. Professional Liability. Pursuant to 10 USC 1089(a), DoD shall process any personal injury claim alleging negligence by the FNP within the scope of the FNP’s performance under this contract as claims alleging negligence by DoD military or civil service personnel. The contractor or individual is not required to maintain medical malpractice liability insurance, and the Government will not reimburse or otherwise pay for such insurance should any be purchased.

1.1.1. Knowledge: The contractors shall possess a working knowledge of established medical principles, practices, requirements, procedures, and regulations. Knowledge of safety, security, personnel management regulations, practices, procedures, planning, and organizing.

1.1.2. Abilities: The contractors shall possess the ability to provide and coordinate detailed consultation services and advice to, and gather information from, health care professionals, paraprofessional personnel, and non-medical personnel. Ability to analyze, evaluate, reconcile contradictory requirements in, and draw conclusions from multiple sources of medical and technical information and analyze, interpret, and apply medical standards to general military population, aviators, and other special operational duty personnel as well as different functions and motivations of the employees or groups involved.

1.2. Background: The mission of the military healthcare system (MHS) is to ensure the nation has available at all times a healthy military force supported by a combat ready healthcare system. Health care services for eligible MHS beneficiaries are provided at Military Treatment Facilities (MTF) located on or near military installations or posts. The military treatment facility may be a clinic, hospital, or medical center. Clinics are outpatient facilities offering primary care or simple specialty care (routine exams, tests, and treatments). The clinic may be stand-alone site or satellite of a larger clinic, hospital, or medical center. The purpose of the Mental Health Assessments (MHA) is to identify and assess post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, suicidality, and other mental health conditions to include but not limited to risky alcohol use, emotional issues, social issues that may affect the member’s overall health or capacity to function. The purpose of the deployment-related health assessment (DRHA) Program is to identify and to address Service members’ health care needs related to deployment. DRHAs assist with the early identification and management of deployment-related health concerns and conditions that may surface in the months before or the months to years after deployment. DRHAs are a vital component of the Air Force’s ability to provide effective care and treatment for members with deployment-related health concerns. There are four key elements of the DRHA Program mission:

1.2.1. Outreach: Positive outreach messages demonstrate the understanding that deployments can impact health, deployers efforts are respected, and their quality of life is important. Leadership engagement in outreach is vital; studies show that unit Commanders can have a direct impact on Service members’ willingness to seek assistance for deployment health concerns.

1.2.2. Early Identification: Early, proactive identification of health concerns facilitates definitive treatment and reduces probability of chronic issues, increased health care costs, and individual distress.

1.2.3. Education: DRHAs rely heavily on the delivery of multiple levels of education to multiple audiences, including deployers, leaders, and clinicians. Educating patients about their deployment-related health concerns and treatment options is critical.

1.2.4. Access to Care: Effective education and outreach ensure deployers know the range and avenue for accessing care, receive assistance in finding easy access to timely appointments, and obtain appropriate referral or follow-up care.

The 51st Medical Group mission is to seamlessly transition from community healthcare to contingency operations and respond to a full spectrum of health requirements, prepare medically ready forces, expand medical capabilities, and sustain war reserve materiel in support of 7 Air Force (AF) and United States Forces Korea (USFK).

Where applicable, the most recent guidelines from these publications are utilized as the standard. The Contractor shall not provide and will be required to replace any providers that are not in compliance with AFI 48-105 or CDC recommendations. All contractors performing services under this contract shall comply with the health and immunization requirements as stated in the Health Requirements clause (reference Section H of this solicitation).

These documents are available in the MTF and maintained by the Government. Supplements or amendments to instructions or publications from any organizational level may be issued during the life of the contract. The Contractor shall immediately implement those changes. The contractors shall give the highest regard to patient dignity and observe the precepts of the American Hospital Association’s Bill of Rights for patients. The contractors shall be held accountable for compliance to the standards listed in the Comprehensive Accreditation Manual for Hospitals (CAMH) current version.

1.3.2. The Contractors shall provide services in conjunction with other non-contract personnel to include physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, registered and licensed practical nurses, and support personnel. All contract personnel shall perform essentially the same functions, within the scope of acceptable practice for the specific specialty or position, as those required by Air Force or Government service health care professionals of similar experience and in similar duty assignments. The scope of services provided in MTFs cover the same range of services as those that are provided in civilian treatment facilities of similar size and scope of services.

1.4. Scope: The contractors shall utilize a multi-disciplinary and collaborative approach to provide effective outreach and to identify special needs. The contractor shall ensure Air Force sponsors are “Q-Coded” (EFMP enrolled) regardless of family members location.

The provider will not perform overtime or on-call duties under this contract. In the instance where the Government supervisor directs the provider to remain on duty in excess of their scheduled shift due to an unforeseen emergency or to complete patient treatment where lack of continuity of care would otherwise jeopardize patient health, the provider shall remain on duty.
