Request for Information Integrated eNotifications Service Pilot via Direct Secure Messaging (VA-26-00049664) Introduction The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has identified a gap in timely visibility into care events occurring outside of VA facilities, particularly for Veterans receiving treatment in community hospitals, emergency departments, and post-acute care settings. Without timely notification of these events, VA care teams may be delayed in coordinating follow-up care, which is especially critical for Veterans identified as high-risk. Improving awareness of these events is essential to enabling proactive outreach and prevention. To address this gap, VA is exploring the use of electronic notification (eNotification) services that provide near real-time alerts for Admission, Discharge, and Transfer (ADT) events occurring in community settings. Market research conducted by VA indicates that no single vendor provides sufficient national coverage across all relevant care settings. As a result, a solution that leverages multiple notification networks is necessary to achieve targeted/adequate coverage and ensure comprehensive visibility into Veteran care events.
