This week, you will conduct system selection, which requires completion of the following steps:

Reviewing a Request for Proposal (RFP)—this invites selected vendors to submit a proposal to you that outlines details of their proposed information system or systems.
Evaluation of the proposed system through on-site demonstration, site visits, reference checks, and making a decision.
Contract negotiation.

Assume that your healthcare organization has conducted an RFI, or a fact finding part of the system implementation and helps to select the potential vendors. It has requested information from vendors about their products and services. With the information gathered, the organization has screened the potential vendors and issues the RFP (request for proposal).

Download this RFP for EHR Implementation: UA_RFP-EHR. This is an actual RFP. Review the document and answer the following:

Does the RFP expressly state organization and user needs? If so, what are these? If not, why is the RFP failing to do so?
What are the strengths and weaknesses of this RFP?
How would you change this document?

In the RPF rating we are using various things of that vendor which may include

Length of the project /product means its due date, price, performance and scope , financial strength, customer care etc .An RFI is different, it provides bulk details of the product from various vendors. Where as RPF only evaluates specific information needed.

In this case this RPF expressively states the needs of organization in terms of price, length or due date and sufficient staffing however,in terms of performance, experience and customer care this is not well balanced. So the strength of this proposal include its cost affordability, staffing and completion due date. But weakness are are lack of experience , past performance and customer care.

This can be strengthen by giving good performance and rationalization regarding experience and giving good customer care by providing what customers want.

This are simple explanation regarding RPF .
