Requirements: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 17 has a requirement for the upgrade and expansion of the currently in use GetWell Network (GWN) Interactive Patient Care System (IPCS). GWN IPCS is a patient care system that provides information to inpatients (and in limited cases outpatients) about their condition, medication, care plan, and educational resources during their hospital stay, allowing inpatients the opportunity to become involved in their care plan. This product has a two-way integration with the VA's Electronic Health Record System, Veterans Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA) Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS) (VistA/CPRS), as well as meal-ordering integration through Computrition (a food service software solution in use in VISN 17). This upgrade and expansion will include replacing legacy hardware (both in-patient room and networking infrastructure), and provision of additional software licenses with helpdesk and system maintenance support (including hardware and software maintenance). Onsite management and technical support will be needed at one facility (Audie L. Murphy Memorial Veterans Hospital) and remote maintenance/repair for all others. The product is currently installed at seven (7) sites throughout the state of Texas in VISN 17: Dallas, Bonham, Temple, Waco, San Antonio, Kerrville, and Big Spring. The expansion of this system will include establishing new sites at VA Amarillo Healthcare System and Garland VA Medical Center and adding new wings/beds in hospitals already established with the system. The expansion will entail: the installation of fifty-eight (58) additional bed licenses at the Olin E. Teague Veterans Center (Temple), twenty-eight (28) additional bed units at the Audie L. Murphy Memorial Veterans' Hospital (San Antonio), thirty (30) additional bed units at the Dallas VA Medical Center, one hundred and ninety six (196) additional bed units at the Sam Rayburn Memorial Veterans Center (Bonham), twenty-eight (28) new bed units at the Garland VA Medical Center, and one-hundred ninety-seven (197) new bed units at the Thomas E. Creek Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center (Amarillo). GWN products are required to ensure that the products previously installed throughout VISN 17 remain operational. Additionally, in the Option Period, if exercised, the Contractor shall provide GWN IPCS Pathway Edition software renewal, helpdesk and system maintenance support which includes hardware and software maintenance, as well as onsite management technical support, as needed for VISN 17 sites previously listed and covered under the Base Period.
