The Data COUNTS™ (Collect Data Once, Use Numerous Times)
This is a Request for Information (RFI) from the NIH regarding the Data COUNTS program, seeking industry input on technologies for collecting standardized real-world data from healthcare partner EMR systems. The contemplated capability requires durable leave-behind technology that remains at healthcare partner sites, deep query extraction, immutable provenance, de-identification per HIPAA, privacy-preserving record linkage, and robust security including TLS 1.2/1.3 and SIEM-compatible logging. Respondents should address which capabilities are COTS, minor modifications, or custom development, and provide pricing models, relevant experience, and business size. The government will use responses for planning purposes only and may contact respondents for clarification or demonstrations. No contract will be awarded based on this RFI.
