Description

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to American Hospital Association (AHA) for the Office of Public Health data, Surveillance, and Technology, OPHDST/IDD/ADB, to maintain and continue licenses to access AHA’s proprietary Annual Survey, AHA Healthcare IT, Payment, and Financial databases, and associated software, online tools, virtual training, and technical /consultative support. The American Hospital Association, Inc. (AHA) conducts multiple surveys with hospitals to include the Annual Survey, which is the main survey that profiles a universe of 6,200+ hospitals and 400 health care systems throughout the United States. Comprising over 1,300+ hospital data points gathered directly from the source, the AHA Annual Survey Database (ASDB) offers facility-level insights on different topics including organizational structure and affiliations; beds and utilization; staffing with physicians included; expenses; accreditations and approval codes; and telehealth and remote patient monitoring. AHA also provides a Healthcare IT Database which provides information on several healthcare IT indicators that illustrate the depth and level of technology integration within hospitals. The database contains hospital level information on over 2,600 hospitals. This IT survey is the most reliable source of hospital IT implementation information available and is used as a foundation for national research and government studies, including national EHR adoption rates. In addition to these surveys, AHA also provides financial module data, a third-party database developed by AHA largely as a service/support element for clients of the AHA ASDB. AHA’s survey data is the only available data source solely focused on hospital and health system characteristics. This contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (SAP). All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency.
