art of the system acquisition process is the request for proposal (RFP). The purpose of the RFP is to provide “the vendor with a comprehensive list of system requirements, features, and functions” and then ask the vendor to indicate if the product or service they provide meets the healthcare organization’s needs (Wager, 2005, p. 155). The benefit of the RFP process is that it provides both the health care organization and each vendor a comprehensive view of what is needed. The limitation is that it is costly and time consuming.
The other approach to soliciting information is the request for information (RFI). The RFI is shorter and less time consuming. It is designed to obtain basic information on the background of the vendor, the description of the product, and the service capabilities (Wager, p. 156).
