Important News and Updates

A Request for Offers (RFO) for the Trauma Registry Improvement System

was posted by the Health and Human Services Commission Enterprise

Contract and Procurement Services (ECPS) on the Electronic State

Business Daily on May 10, 2010. The closing date was June 9, 2010, and

two proposals were received. The future Trauma Registry is a key asset

for DSHS and the Trauma Registry stakeholders. The future Trauma

Registry allows the Registry to address issues, such as, the changing

landscape relative to the new Health Information Technology/Health

Information Exchange opportunities.

Overall, DSHS wants to ensure that the Trauma Registry stakeholders and

DSHS have a Registry solution that provides the best value and addresses

the needs of Texans.

As such, due to the low number of responses to the RFO that closed on

June 9, 2010, coupled with the desire to provide a robust Registry

solution that meets the changing landscape of health and health care,

DSHS has decided to issue a new RFO.

A new RFO was issued on July 27, 2010 and will close on August 20, 2010

at 3:00 PM.

DSHS encourages all potential bidders, including those that bid on the

first Trauma Registry RFO, to respond to this RFO. DSHS is excited about

the future Registry solution and looks forward to reviewing the

proposals.

Here is the link to the new RFO:
