Developing Quality Measures for Schizophrenia in Medicaid

THIS NOTICE IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY UNDER THE AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT OF 2009.



THIS OPPORTUNITY IS AVAILABLE ONLY TO IDIQ MASTER CONTRACT HOLDERS UNDER THE PROGRAM SUPPORT CENTER (PSC) TASK ORDER CONTRACTS.





The Department of Health and Human Services/Office of Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation through the Program Support Center intends to issue a Request for Task Order Proposal under the PSC Task Order Contracts for Developing Quality Measures for Schizophrenia in Medicaid.



The purpose of this project is to develop a set of at least three validated quality measures for schizophrenia for use in Medicaid (including Medicaid managed care plans) for accountability, quality assessment and improvement, and potentially other policy purposes. These measures will specifically focus on ambulatory care provided to adult schizophrenia patients and paid for by state Medicaid programs. Since the Department will submit these measures to the National Quality Forum (NQF) for their endorsement, the measures will be in full compliance with the NQF measure evaluation criteria.



No solicitation will be posted and capability statements are NOT being requested.



A COPY OF THE SOLICITATION WILL BE DISTRIBUTED TO ALL OF THE PSC TASK ORDER CONTRACTORS IN ORDER TO PROVIDE FAIR OPPORTUNITY. IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT ONE FIXED PRICE AWARD SHALL BE MADE.
