Do-it-yourself EMR/PACS selection: using an automated RFP product
By Susanna Guzman
Any
radiology department looking for a RIS or PACS will eventually create a
request for proposal document. Before creating the RFP though, the organization
must identify and document functional system requirements. That process
can take as long as a month, according to Mike Serum, an Information Systems
Business Analyst with Olathe Health Systems in Olathe, Ks. Also, said Serum,
making sure the list of requirements is complete is anything but easy,
especially when you're starting from scratch.
For a little more than 11 years, On-Line Consultant Software has been building
software that automates the RFP process for radiology departments and hospitals...

Software aids the selection process
from Technology in Practice
Creating a concise request for proposal and then comparing
competing vendor responses are two of the most difficult chores
in picking a practice management software vendor.
The first requires a clear vision of what a practice needs.
The second requires the tenacity to sort through—and
compare—vendor proposals.
Faced with these difficult tasks, Trish Owens turned to
On-Line Consultant Software, a Roseville, Calif. company that
has carved out a peculiar niche. Its application targets
businesses looking to buy software for human resources,
manufacturing and accounting purposes. In addition to physician
practice management, its health care "RFP software"
helps purchasers choose among hospital, radiology and pharmacy
information systems.
Intrigued by On-Line Consultant’s promise "to
objectively compare an unlimited number of vendors," Owens
(purchased) the software, which creates an electronic
RFP that a practice can send to potential vendors. It was money
well spent, says Owens... (read

Handling requests for proposals (RFPs) can be a daunting task, unless
you get some help from software. On-Line Consultant Software provides
you with editable, pre-loaded questions for vendors. Once the vendors
answer, the software graphically and automatically compares vendor
results against your needs definitions. Other information sent to the
vendor(s) includes
Background section: your project's schedule, contact information,
and profile.
General questions to the vendor about their software, support,
operations, etc.
Functional surveys about the vendor's product tailored to your
requirements.
These RFP responses include costs
analysis, vendor evaluation, and weighted scoring.
