The Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT has awarded $15 million in two new contracts for work on the Nationwide Health Information Network. The contracts, awarded to systems integrator Stanley Inc., follow another $6 million contract announced on Aug. 2.
All three awards fall under the company's Chief Information Officer–Solutions and Partners 2 Innovations (CIO-SP2i) contract with the National Institutes of Health Information Technology Acquisition and Assessment Center (NITAAC).
Under one of the new two-year awards, valued at $7 million, Stanley will develop and maintain a tools and standards repository for the Nationwide Health Information Network to facilitate wider use of the standards and an increased level of interoperability across the nation.
The team will work to streamline processes and maximize the re-use of concepts and components by developing tools to automate process and information flow.
Under the second two-year award, valued at $8 million, Stanley will enhance and manage the testing infrastructure for the Nationwide Health Information Network. The work will include developing an infrastructure of rigorous processes and tools needed to confirm that the system conforms to specifications and can interoperate with other solutions.
Under both NITAAC awards, the Nitor Group Ltd., 5AM Solutions, Inc. and Aegis are subcontractors on the Stanley team. Release One joins the team under the award to perform services for the tools and standards repository.
