The primary objectives of this RFI are to gather information from vendors for the development of a potential Request for Proposal (RFP) for Health First Indiana (HFI) LHDs budget and activity reporting solution. The goal is to identify vendors capable of delivering an efficient, scalable, and secure solution that aligns with the strategic goals of IDOH, its partners, and Local Health Departments (LHDs). Responses will be used to evaluate vendors' expertise, solution capabilities, implementation methodologies, and cost structures. This solution is crucial to: • Ensure compliance with the Senate Enrolled Act 4-2023, which mandates LHDs to report metrics related to core public health services which includes both budget and operational activities in June and December. • Facilitate enhanced collaboration among LHDs to collectively enhance core public health services. • Support various user-roles and functions, drive user adoption, and enhance productivity for IDOH, its partners, and LHDs. • Assist IDOH and its partners in strategizing effective support for LHDs. While existing tools, including PowerApps applications, were created for this process, they lack flexibility, usability, and integration capabilities, making reporting difficult and inefficient. This has led to data inconsistencies and challenges in decision-making at both the IDOH and LHDs level. By investing in an alternative, user-friendly, and scalable HFI solution, IDOH anticipates the new solution will cover the following key areas: • Access Integration with Access Indiana: Ensure seamless data access. • Activity Reporting: Enable efficient reporting of LHDs activities. • Budget Reporting: Streamline budget-related information reporting for LHDs. • Core Service Progress Measures: Enable dynamic KPI reporting at IDOH and LHD levels. • Reporting and Dashboard Needs: Facilitate real-time reporting and dashboards to support IDOH and LHDs data-driven decision-making.
