Electronic Health Record System

The State of Tennessee has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for the implementation of a comprehensive Electronic Health Record (EHR) System, with a response deadline of June 15, 2026. This pre-procurement information-gathering initiative seeks vendor feedback and detailed capabilities regarding the design, implementation, and deployment of an integrated EHR solution that will consolidate clinical, administrative, and financial functions across Tennessee's health systems. Vendors are required to provide extensive documentation outlining their EHR platform functionality, implementation methodologies, technical architecture, security and compliance measures, organizational experience with comparable implementations in state or healthcare environments, and integration capabilities with existing state systems. Key evaluation criteria include the solution's ability to meet Tennessee's operational requirements, interoperability standards, regulatory compliance obligations including HIPAA and other applicable healthcare regulations, and seamless integration capabilities with current state infrastructure. The RFI is designed to allow the state to evaluate vendor qualifications and solution suitability to inform the development of a formal Request for Proposal that is anticipated to follow; this stage does not involve pricing submissions or represent a binding contract opportunity.

The available documentation does not specify set-aside designations, restrictions on types of organizations eligible to respond, or incumbent vendors currently serving in this capacity. No specific budget range or anticipated award value is disclosed in the provided materials. The RFI does not clarify whether particular disadvantaged enterprise certifications are required or preferred, nor does it identify existing technology infrastructure or legacy systems that successful vendors must integrate with as part of implementation. Interested vendors should refer to the complete RFI document for additional requirements, submission guidelines, and any supplemental information regarding organizational eligibility, set-asides, or technical specifications that may further define the procurement scope and anticipated contract parameters.
