Occam s Razor: Simplify our Acquisition Strategy Streamlined Acquisition Documentation Tailored to fit the specific needs of an EHR system acquisition Requirements Driven by State of Commercial Market Releasing draft RFPs to maximize feedback and shape final product Hosting multiple Industry Days to make sure we develop an acquisition strategy that fits the state of the EHR market Extensive market research to drive requirements and minimize development Simplified Contracting Approach Competitive Single award contract Gating strategy Occam s Razor: A principle of parsimony, economy, or succinctness used in problem-solving. It states that among competing hypotheses, the hypothesis with the fewest assumptions should be selected.
