SoftDev Announces U.S. Census Bureau Contract Award

SoftDev today announced that the U.S. Census Bureau awarded SoftDev a GSA Schedule 70 order for expert Electronic Health Record (EHR) services. “SoftDev is excited to expand our efforts as a federal partner to serve the Census Bureau to provide innovative, cost effective Health IT solutions to meet the Census Bureau’s mission,” said Robin Kaiser, President at SoftDev.

The Census Bureau is expanding its data acquisition, processing and provisioning activities to support multiple existing and emerging projects, including one high-visibility emerging project that expands research using EHRs. The Census Bureau plans to build an infrastructure with the capability to ingest, process, and track EHRs initially from health information exchanges (HIE) and then expand to other organizations (non-HIE) for electronic health information.

Under this award, SoftDev is excited to provide support in understanding the EHRs so as to ensure the Census Bureau’s infrastructure has a logical structure and associations. Working with the HIEs and non-HIEs, SoftDev will gain added expertise and understanding regarding the content, format, and quality of health records. SoftDev will also increase our ability to identify challenges to ingesting health records into one infrastructure while ensuring the guidance and advice we provide includes industry-standard toolkits and compliance to health care standards. The contract is for 3.5 years, including the base and three option periods.

Founded in 1999, SoftDev is a leading healthcare IT company. The firm is an SBA-certified HUBZone and Economically Disadvantaged Woman Owned Small Business (EDWOSB).

2018 FedHealthIT Innovation Award Winner – CMS CROWN Data Discrepancy Support (CDDS)

About the Award – The FedHealthIT Innovation Awards recognize 25 of the top Federal Health leaders. Nominated and chosen by their peers, the awardees stand out from the rest based on their willingness to take on achievable risk, and more importantly, to deliver real results in support of their mission.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) CROWN Data Discrepancy Support (CDDS) program was conceived in 2010 as an unsolicited proposal/white paper developed by SoftDev Incorporated (SoftDev) to improve data quality and reduce data discrepancies in electronic data submissions to the End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Program’s CROWNWeb system. CDDS is managed by CMS’ Center for Clinical Standards and Quality (CCSQ) under the leadership of Janis Grady, the CDDS COR.

CDDS focuses on innovative data approaches to solve real-world problems. For example, flooding and wildfire disasters in 2017 instigated a temporary (6-month) government policy change for dialysis facilities located within disaster areas. The policy change was made just weeks before a data submission period ended. CDDS had prototype systems in place in three days’ time and presenting fully accurate, quality and policy conforming data exhibits prior to the conclusion of the next data submission period. CMS, patients and providers directly benefit from the accurate, complete, and timely data that CDDS provides through our data quality and governance efforts and our reporting. In 2017, our efforts supported continuity of data for timely, actionable insights impacting affected beneficiaries. Our program efforts consistently produce savings for Medicare (over $40M in recovered revenues to date), enhance continuity of care for patients, and reduce provider burden.

SoftDev was awarded the CDDS contract as a HUBZone set-aside sole source in 2010 and has performed work as the sole contractor on the project since that time.

About the Event – The 4^th annual 2018 FedHealthIT Innovation awards will be held on June 12^th, 2018 at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. This event brings together more than 300 Federal Health leaders from Government and industry to help celebrate and recognize 26 of the top Federal Health programs and the teams behind these innovative efforts in support of Veterans Affairs, Military Health, Health and Human Services, and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Meet the award winning program executives who are driving consensus, leading their agencies towards effective transformation and evolving technologies. Celebrate the programs that are achieving unparalleled access and elevating functional efficiencies through models that are modern, secure, and scalable. SoftDev's Robin Kaiser and Melanie Marsh look forward to seeing you there!
