MedTech-IQ Reminder: U.S. Army Request For Informtion (RFI) ... Advanced Health Information Technologies ... Deadline: 28 February 2010

[CC-Conrad Clyburn-MedForeSight]

A message to all members of MedTech-IQ

Colleagues,

See below the third transmission of the RFI (Request For Information) from the U.S. Army seeking information on potential advanced health information technology that MedTech-IQ member Robert Connors first brought to our attention 31 January 2010.  I have attached the RFI below for your convenience.  Generally, an RFI will proceed a Funding Opportunity Announcement in the form of a RFP (Request For proposals).  My sources indicate that the funding line to back the RFP may be significant.  This RFI is an interesting document.  It provides a detailed description of where and how the federal sector foresees health information technology evolving in the immediate future.  Key areas of interest include:

1.	Acquisition-Access
2.	Analysis-Execution
3.	Interoperability-Standards
4.	Distribution-Portability
5.	Representation-Visualization
6.	Archive-Retrieval
7.	Systems Engineering/Program Support

ENJOY!
