The award is a five-year, indefinite delivery/indefinite
quantity (IDIQ) contract valued at more than $79 million. Under the
terms of the contract, which began on July 3, AFS will provide
support to BUMED, also known as Navy Medicine, as it advances
health informatics, virtual health and artificial intelligence
initiatives that empower data-driven decisions at the intersections
of health information technology, patient care, healthcare
operations and readiness.
AFS has already received five task orders supporting BUMED with
human-centered design, project management, and functional support
to the Fleet, Fleet Marine Force, and Reserve Components for
activities involving electronic health record modernization and
virtual health. This will improve health outcomes and extend
enhanced healthcare capabilities to the sea, battlefield and to
hospitals worldwide.
“We are proud to help BUMED not only reshape and optimize but
also to embrace modern technologies that transform wellness, early
detection, diagnosis, treatment and clinical decision support to
improve health and readiness,” said Jeff Plummer, Accenture Federal
Services’ (AFS) Navy Medicine lead.
AFS will use its deep industry experience in private-sector
healthcare to help BUMED navigate the shift to care models that are
more data-driven, patient-centric, cost-efficient and driven by
technology. According to Plummer, these innovations will enhance
the Navy’s capabilities as it prepares for future conflicts. The
advances and renewed emphasis on readiness will promote patient
safety, value, equity, efficiency, functionality and the
end-user-focused design of systems.
This contract is the third award AFS has received from Navy
Medicine in the past year. It was also awarded separate prime
contracts on the BUMED Readiness and Health Support Services IDIQ
and BUMED Financial and Business Operations Management Support
IDIQ.
