The VA Northwest Health Network, Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 20, is responsible for providing health care to Veterans in the states of Alaska, Washington, Oregon, most of the state of Idaho, and one county each in Montana and California. VISN 20 encompasses 135 counties which cover approximately 23% of the United States land mass; 17% of which are classified as health professional shortage areas. 67% of these same counties had a 2001 per capita income below $25,000. There are approximately 1.2 million Veterans living in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, 18% of whom received VA services. \n\nThe VISN 20 network of eight (8) health care facilities is comprised of (7) medical centers and one (1) rehabilitation center. Two of the health care facilities are three (3) two-division campuses. These ten (10) health care sites support thirty-six (36) Community Based Outpatient Clinics.\n\nVaultara provides a cloud-based set of applications that provides fast, secure, contact-less access to imaging and medical data for sharing among healthcare partners. Vaultara is used by VA VISN 20 to share medical images and files with outside healthcare providers, veterans, and other VA facilities. The use of Vaultara s applications eliminates the need for writing CD-ROMS, then hand-carrying or mailing the CDs-ROMs, and importing them back into the outside HDO s PACS. This export, distribution, and import process is time-consuming and prone to problems including lost CDs, dysfunctional CDs that cannot be accessed by facilities, failures related to network security or systems incompatibility, and a host of other possible problems. Vaultara s cloud-based solution eliminates these problems.\n\nVISN 20 has a continued need for veterans, other VA facilities, and outside healthcare providers to be able to use this technology. This contract shall provide VISN 20 the ability to connect to an unlimited number of external healthcare providers, VA facilities, and veterans via any method of transaction delivery that Vaultara (or an equal software) offers, i.e. via MPN/glider, Ambra and/or Powershare interface, or manual web upload/download. \n\n\nApplicable Documents.
