ICF Will Support Operation of Critical
Healthcare Emergency Preparedness Information Gateway
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS)
Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) recently
awarded ICF (NASDAQ:ICFI), a global consulting and technology
services provider, a new contract to continue the development and
operation of the agency’s information gateway and technical
assistance center for healthcare system preparedness and
response.
The single-award indefinite-delivery, indefinite quantity
contract has a contract ceiling of $25 million and a term of five
years including one base and four option years.
ICF will support ASPR in the day-to-day operations of its
Technical Resources, Assistance Center, and Information Exchange
Program (TRACIE), a critical one-stop shop created to meet the
information and technical assistance needs of healthcare providers,
emergency managers and public health practitioners preparing for
and responding to public health emergencies and natural
disasters.
“Healthcare providers are already pushed to their limits taking
care of the day-to-day needs of their communities,” said John
Paczkowski, senior vice president for ICF. “When a disaster
strikes, these providers need to respond quickly and decisively to
ensure the safety of community members in their care. TRACIE plays
an essential role in helping them prepare for such events and
respond appropriately with vetted, reliable, up-to-the-minute
information, direct technical assistance and peer-to-peer
sharing.”
ICF assisted ASPR in the initial conceptualization and
requirements gathering process, build out and launch of TRACIE in
2015. Since then, TRACIE has received over 150,000 visits to its
website, responded to over 2,200 technical assistance requests, and
now has a cadre of nearly 500 subject matter experts on standby for
tailored direct support. TRACIE also has over 3,100 information
exchange members and its listserv reaches over 150,000
stakeholders.
ICF helps clients at all levels of government and the private
sector prepare for the public health, healthcare and medical
consequences of all hazards, disasters and emergencies. Read more
