The Vendor is required to provide a radiology picture archiving and communications system (PACS) is a critical component of the radiology department.
- Convert the required data from legacy systems to the new solution.
- Build appropriate interfaces and security parameters for the system to be implemented.
- This will include integration of the system with the hospital information system and third-party vendor add on systems tied to the PACS system.
- Implement and integrate the new PACS system with other systems (epic, illuminate, VNA, power scribe) across the enterprise departments and with other radiology uses systems that require access and utilization of PACS.
- Implementation to also include establishing physician specific hanging protocols for radiologist.
- Provide post implementation service: this will include all services and quality assurance programs that are needed post implementation.
- Service hours and level of on-site service are noted in the proposal.
- Quality assurance requires the vendor to work with the hospital to on mutually agreeable benchmarks and metrics based on best practices for PACS systems.
- Provide accurate data to the hospital as requested for quality improvement programs.
- Provide ongoing training.
- Must offer a synchronis hybrid cloud PACS system.
- Hosted server must be located in the continental states.
- Must be able to provide remote support services via a connection through the internet.
- Must be able to provide guaranteed response times for support (minimally via remote) access, within twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week.
- Must offer account representation for university.
- Must provide bi-directional epic support.
- Must have prior epic integration experience.
- Provide a list of hospitals where this was included.
- PACS client must support an epic desktop integration.
- Epic is contextually aware of the active PACS study being read by the radiologist.
- System must interoperate with a Fuji synapse VNA system for historical exams.
- PACS client must support a power scribe one integration or have its own alternative solution.
- Must provide initial and ongoing training, to include training for upgrades of the platform.
- Must provide a detailed breakdown of all the hardware requirements from a processor, memory, drive size, drive volume, and disk controller specifications for all servers.
- Must provide detailed minimum and optimal workstation specifications.
- System must have customizable hanging protocol toolsets that can easily be changed by the radiologist and/or system administrators.
- System must have the ability to view more than a single modality in the same viewing session.
- For example, when the physician is reading a mammogram, they desire the ability to view the associated breast ultrasound and MRI in the same viewing session.
- System must have the ability to open multiple diagnostic sessions on the workstation simultaneously or have an over read functionality built in.
- System must have customizable settings, based on study type and radiologist, to pull relevant priors based on quantity and/or dates of service.
- System must incorporate hot key commands (i.e., control functions using buttons or numeric keypad).
- System must allow for robust worklist filtering based on dicom tags or other filtering criteria.
- System must ensure that all annotations made by staff or radiologists can be saved.
- PACS system must support an AI integrated medical analysis solution.
- System must be able to integrate with Microsoft active directory using existing active directory domains, policies, and procedures.
- Product must be capable of sending an hl7 message to notify an external system including epic.
- Product must be able to support more than one parallel dicom association per server.
- The hybrid system will allow agency to maintain an on on-site backup.
- Agency currently uses an onsite PACS System and wants to move to a Hybrid- Cloud PACS System.
- Contract Period/Term: 5 years
- Questions/Inquires Deadline: June 10, 2025
