- March 1, 2012 Re:VISN 18 Vendor Fair/Demonstration Dear Vendor Representatives: VA Southwest Health Care Network (VISN 18) is inviting prospective vendors who can provide point of care work stations to a meeting at the Tucson VA Health Care on April 4, 2012. Meeting objectives for VISN 18 participants are to understand and become familiar with commercial off-the-shelf clinical information system point of care hardware products and to conduct market research to understand clinical features and functions commonly available in modern commercial offerings. Attendees will identify functional requirements for VISN 18 systems. Your participation will help educate our staff about modern systems so that we may refine our system requirements, including but not limited to the following items: Point of care workstations Mini pc Touch screen displays Mouse/track ball/track pad option Keyboard skins Mounting hardware solutions and Roll-around carts Please Note: We consider this meeting to be "market research." We are not "evaluating" your products against other vendors' products. Rather, we seek to identify important features and functions to VISN 18 that are commonly available in commercial product offerings. You should neither consider your company as favored in any fashion by VISN 18, nor should you consider VISN 18 under any obligation to your company as a result of your participation in this meeting. VISN 18 intends to formally solicit proposals from multiple sources within the next several months from some or all vendors participating in this meeting as well as other vendors. While interacting with VA staff, you may find it beneficial to know their role (physician, nurse, ICU or anesthesia, Biomedical Engineering, IT, etc).
