The purpose of this RFI, is identify SDVOSB, VOSB, or other small businesses capable and interested in supporting a future VA central cancer registry data quality control requirement. Description: The mission of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Veterans Health Administration (VHA), National Oncology Program Office is to provide benefits and services to Veterans of the United States. The Veterans Affairs Central Cancer Registry (VACCR) receives and stores information on cancer diagnosis and treatment constraints compiled and sent in by the local cancer registry staff at each of the 132 Veterans Affairs Medical Centers that diagnose and/or treat Veterans with cancer. The information sent is encoded to meet the site-specific requirements for registry inclusion as established by several oversight bodies, including the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR), the American College of Surgeons' Commission on Cancer, and the American Joint Commission on Cancer, among others. The information is obtained from a wide variety of medical record documents at the local medical center pertaining to each Veterans Health Administration (VHA) cancer patient. The information is then transmitted to the VACCR. Details collected include extensive demographics, cancer identification, extent of disease and staging, first course of treatment, and outcomes. The VA CCR has not been staffed since 2015 and therefore critical data quality processes have not been performed since that time. The current central cancer registry software of record is Rocky Mountain Cancer Data System (RMCDS). The purpose of this effort is to leverage software scripts to cleanup as many of the records in RCMDS as possible programmatically. Records that cannot be processed by the software will require manual human review and reconciliation. Proposed Scope of Work: Remove duplicate records, correct original records with relevant information, and perform quality control of all records linked to duplicates. Software development effort for automated error detection and remediation Effort for manual human review and remediation.
