- Description
- The mission of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is to uncover new knowledge that will lead to better health for everyone. The NIH accomplishes that mission by conducting research in its own laboratories; supporting the research of non-Federal scientists in universities, medical schools, hospitals, and research institutions throughout the country and abroad; helping in the training of research investigators; and fostering communication of biomedical information. The NIH Clinical Center (CC) is a 234-bed federally funded, biomedical research hospital located on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland. The Clinical Center is the delivery setting for all NIH intramural clinical research protocols. The hospital complex consists of two main facilities that are connected to each other by “bridges”. The original 14-story building is 2.5 million square feet and continues to house the clinical laboratories, imaging sciences, surgical suites, and several outpatient clinics. The new 870,000 square foot facility houses inpatient units and day hospitals. The Clinical Center accounts for about half of all NIH-funded clinical research beds in the United States and accommodates about 7,000 inpatient and 70,000 outpatient visits a year. Patients are admitted to the NIH Clinical Center from all over the world for the sole purpose of participating in a clinical research protocol. The Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences (RAD&IS) provides imaging services to the CC patients who participate in research protocols conducted by the various NIH institutes. Imaging services include X-rays, fluoroscopy, mammography, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, computed tomography (CT) scans and interventional radiology (special procedures). Diagnostic services in ultrasound, digital mammography, positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), and nuclear medicine are also provided. All these diagnostic modalities generate clinical diagnostic images that are sent to and archived on the RAD&IS’s Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). The departmental radiologists review the diagnostic images and dictate clinical findings using a Voice Recognition system (VRS). The finds are saved in reports which are stored in the RAD&IS’s Radiology Information System (RIS) and forwarded to the Clinical Research Information System or the Clinical Center’s Hospital Information System (CRIS). The Vitrea Enterprise Suite is a medical diagnostic imaging system that utilizes computerized visualization techniques to provide enhanced image displays, e.g. 3D or 4D displays.. The Vitrea Enterprise Suite provides the departmental radiologists with advanced visualization tools. These tools are used as a means to further process and review patient images stored in the PACS for diagnostic and research purposes. Purpose This request is for the purchase of a maintenance contract with Vital Images, Inc. for its Vitrea Enterprise Suite for the period of one year beginning June 15, 2011. Vitrea is a proprietary system in daily use by the RAD&IS for critical patient care. Scope To provide support for the Vitrea Enterprise Suite including: 1.Hardware and software support service 8am-5pm Monday – Friday 2.Software updates and corrections 3.Technical phone support 4.Access to on-line support and technical information 5.Remote support diagnostics 6.Software maintenance and support to include: a.MeVis ImageChecker CT Lung, CADD software b.MeVis AutoPoint Temporal Comparison c.Vitrea Enterprise Suite fX Full Platform Period of Performance June 15, 2011 – June 14, 2012 (Base year) June 15,2013-June 14,2014(option year one) June 15,2014-June14,2015 (option year two) June 15,2015-June 14,2016(option year three) June 15,2016-June 24,2016(option year four)
