Advanced Multi-Attribute Scoring Technique (AMAST): a model scoring methodology for the request for proposal (RFP).
The continued demand for more efficient and functionally rich automated systems will force health care facilities into a changing and complex marketplace. As the Request for Proposal (RFP) will be the key document in the systems acquisition process, it is imperative that a systematic process must be established to evaluate the vast array of data collected. It is suggested in this paper that the effective application of the Advanced Multi-Attribute Scoring Technique (AMAST) will assist in this process, enhance the decision making process and reduce the risk associated with systems development and procurement.
