6525--radiology mammography tracking software sepg 499629 EER 270504 (VA-26-00027153)

This RFQ is hereby extended until 4/3 at 11:00am Mountain Time

The purpose of this amendment is to provide answers to questions as listed below.

No more questions will be accepted.

What is the preferred deployment timeline and target go-live date? Â

 May 1st

What is the approximate annual mammography exam/imaging volume (diagnostic and screening exams combined Mammography, Ultrasound, MRI, Biopsy, etc.)?Â

During FY 25

Mammo in house 1,305

Diagnostic 339

Ultrasound 262

MRI 32

Biopsy 11

Is there an existing mammography tracking system or other source system currently in use that will be replaced upon award?Â

Magview Luminary One

Is any legacy data migration required? If so, what data sources, approximate record counts, and data elements are expected to be migrated?Â

Â

Yes from magview luminary One and CPRS

Does the government have a VA-managed private cloud environment for deploying elements of the proposed solution?Â

Yes. We have a cloud environment

Will PHI be required to stay on-prem, or is a cloud solution acceptable?

Probably ok on cloud

What are the current mammography unit(s) (manufacturers and models)?Â

GE Pristina

The RFP specifies recording patient risk factors (e.g., family history, genetic predisposition). Is risk assessment functionality sought as part of the solution?Â

Â

We use Tyrer-Cuzick Score, this functionality Must be part of the solution

Is there an existing mammography reporting system that the proposed solution is expected to integrate with, or is mammography reporting functionality required to be included as part of the solution?Â

Yes Magview Luminary One

Can you get me an estimate of the following: Total annual study volume for the facility (this includes all exams, not just Mammography). And the total annual mammography exams for the facility.Â

FY25

Mammo 2905

CT 15920

Xray 39183

MRI 7340

Nuke 6137

Ultrasound 6844

Is Vista-certified acceptance included in this project? As i understand it only, the South Korean owned MRS/Volpara/Lunit is vista certified in Breast Imaging.Â

This software will need to integrate with VISTA but uncertain about certification requirement

How many imaging locations are included in this RFQ?

Just 1 Ernest Childers

Do you perform any genetic testing?

Yes but not a necessary part of this requirement

Do you perform bone density scans?

Yes -but not a necessary part of this requirement

Would you like electronic forms included to help gather clinical history prior to an exam?

An electronic template is needed, but we will be gathering clinical history from printed paper forms and entering manually

Which RIS or EHR system will need to be interfaced with?

CPRS, AGFA EI, VISTA

Will the interface be required with both the RIS and EHR, or is there one system that serves as the source of truth?

RIS and EHR

Please confirm that radiology reporting does not need to be included in the platform, and that this requirement is for tracking only, with radiologists reading/reporting in a separate system

Radiologist does not use this

Powerscribe needs to be connected intergrated

Pacs=AGFA EI does need access

Here is an outline of the workflow: Veteran uses VISTA when checking in, Vista interfaces with Tracker system and PACS to connect images, information is read by radiologist using PACS via Powerscribe, which then triggers reports to doctors and other medical staff.
