How to write an RFP for automated systems.
There is no absolute formula for writing a good RFP. But materiel managers who want to utilize an RFP to facilitate selection of an automated system should: Plan and create the RFP with the cooperation of others. Direct the RFP only to vendors who survive an initial telephone screening. Clearly organize the document. Try to use questions that seek structured responses. Include all relevant information about the hospital the vendor will need to provide a meaningful response. Keep it simple. Be inclusive yet succinct. Use the RFP as a supplement to, not substitution for, communication with prospective vendors.
