- Description
- This is a request for information/sources sought notice in order to identify sources that have the resources and capabilities to provide market research & survey services for the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) to assist VHA in comparing average appointment wait times among VHA and non-VHA patients to determine how well VHA is performing in regards to patient access. Description of Work The contractor will develop survey questions to determine wait time for services inside VHA and in the non-VHA market (private healthcare / Medicare / Medicaid). The contractor will collect wait time information from VHA and non-VHA providers for comparison and provide a report on the differences in wait times for services. The contractor will need to develop questions, identify markets, identify providers and capture responses in 96 markets for seven specialties (family medicine, psychiatry, psychology, urology, gastroenterology, cardiology and orthopedics). It is estimated that 11,000 to 14,000 surveys will need to be completed. The period of performance is expected to be 200 days. Technical Requirements Ideally, the contractor should have experience performing surveys of wait times for Government-provided medical services and medical services provided by private healthcare. Having an understanding of VHA specialty and primary care scheduling processes and experience reporting findings to VHA leadership and Congressional committees would also be beneficial.
