The requirements outlined below are described in more detail in the DRAFT Extended MDR RequirementsV10.12.docx (the Extended MDR Requirements is a more descriptive document, and therefore lengthy. We are still working to make a more stakeholder readable version of it).  This document was frozen in June 2016, and provided input for the EPLC documents and the SOW.

MDR Roadmap - Next Steps:

Through an RFI process and research, we identified over 13 potential solutions and partial solutions. We created a requirements spreadsheet and engaged with each of the potential providers to request a self-assessment of their capabilities versus NCI requirements.  We mapped all the results into one document and created a quantitative score for each one based on the number of requirements they could meet. We then organized the requirements by highest priority and re-scored the responses, narrowing the possible choices to the top 5.  We requested product demonstration and information sessions with each of the top 5.  The two possible solutions who held position 4 and 5 respectively turned out not to be commercially available and thus dropped from the list.  We have selected the top 3, scoring 97%, 75%, and 58%, for a 45-day software evaluation for usability testing, and also decided to test the NLM system for comparative purposes. We have developed an "Evaluation Scorecard" to be used in recording results from testing the features that are the most commonly used. The requirements matrix and evaluation scorecard are available upon request from the government sponsor.
