Request for Proposal Template for Health Information Technology

Request for Proposal Template for Health Information Technology

A Resource from the Health Information Technology Research Center (HITRC), Wisconsin Health Information Technology Extension Center (WHITEC), and Wide River Technology Extension Center (Wide River TEC) for The National Learning Consortium (NLC)

This RFP template is intended to aid providers and health IT implementers throughout the EHR vendor selection process. This template can be used to structure requests for vendors to send proposals on the specific health IT that needs to be acquired.

This document had been reviewed by the advisory board and domain experts. Despite its intent for the broad provider audience, it is still a useful template for health centers preparing RFPs for health IT.
