Description
Complete Description:
The Governor s Office of Health Care Reform (GOHCR) is expecting to receive federal funding to aid in the creation of the Pennsylvania Health Information Exchange (PHIX). The federal funding vehicle is a Cooperative Agreement Program with the Office of National Coordinator (ONC) within the Department of Health and Human Services. Although the funding is to span 4 years, the majority of the work and funding is to be spent in the years 1 and 2.

There are specific milestones and performance measures tied to the funding draw down that will be negotiated with ONC. This includes creation and subsequent approval of strategic and operational plans. There are five broad domains in the project spanning governance, financing, technical infrastructure, technical and business operations and legal/policy. Assistance is needed in preparing a multi-year, robust operational plan to guide the PHIX implementation and ultimately, the ability to draw down the funds.

Through the staff augmentation contract, we are seeking to identify an individual to prepare the operational plan.
