Statement of Work
Background
The Employee Health Program consists of one (1) full-time nurse for over 1200 employees. The acquisition of a locally-hosted employee health database in 2016 allowed the Employee Health Program to develop and maintain an electronic repository for employee health documentation, including immunization records, fit-testing results, and tuberculosis screening. The initial contract with the vendor Occupational Health Systems allowed PIMC to purchase outright a site license of the employee health product, MediTrax, in perpetuity. Also included in the initial contract was a series of four (4) option years to pay for ongoing technical support and software updates. Use of the employee health software has allowed the Employee Health program to ensure that employee health records are segregated from the patient employee health record. Use of an electronic employee health software package has streamlined record-keeping and has reduced the need for storage of paper-based documentation. PIMC’s current employee health software program is currently used by other IHS facilities in New Mexico, Arizona, and Oklahoma. The recent requirements for mandatory Covid-19 immunizations for IHS staff has required new reporting formats, for which Employee Health has needed urgent technical support from the vendor. PIMC has identified a need to proceed with a new acquisition task to purchase technical support services.
Objective
This objective of this request is for unlimited toll-free and WebEx technical support and software updates to PIMC's employee health database (MediTrax). PIMC purchased MediTrax in September 2016 and owns the site license. This employee health database provides a structure for the documentation of all employee health activities, such as annual tuberculosis skin tests and screening, influenza vaccinations, immunization tracking, respirator fit testing, blood-born pathogen and communicable disease exposure, color vision testing, spirometry, audiology testing, and worker injury tracking and follow-up. This requisition is for a new period of performance for ongoing technical support for the existing product so that our Employee Health staff can seek assistance for any technical issues that might arise. This is particularly important now, given the recent IHS mandate for all employees to document Covid-19 vaccination status.
