Organization overview and procurement intelligence available on paid plans.
The Commonwealth of Virginia is seeking information from vendors regarding the implementation of a new enterprise electronic health record (EHR) system to support twelve state-operated facilities. Respondents are asked to provide insight into certified EHR solutions that cover comprehensive clinical, operational, forensic, and residential care needs.
Key requirements include a modern, scalable architecture adaptable to inpatient psychiatric, long-term, and residential care environments. Solutions should offer robust API ecosystems, software development kits (SDKs), integration middleware, and offline/mobile functionality. The system must integrate with enterprise identity and access management platforms, such as Active Directory and Single Sign-On (SSO), and support a broad range of devices including desktops, tablets, and kiosks, as well as peripherals like scanners and label printers.
User interface consistency and accessibility are crucial, with expectations for in-app guidance, training aids, onboarding support, and multilingual capabilities. Vendors should describe their approach to these requirements, supporting Virginia's information gathering process for analyzing costs, implementation procedures, and likely challenges.
