Team Coforma has recently been awarded a task order under the Customer Experience, DevOps, Agile Releases (CEDAR) IDIQ. The Technology Modernization Function (TMF) System, Data Visualization Design contract—valued at $2 million for a one-year period of performance—will help the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) modernize its data visualization capabilities.
Cognitive burden is a chief challenge among VA clinical providers, and especially dense data can add significant administrative overhead to a provider’s workload. Having access to robust data visualization patterns that are aligned with existing VA and US Web Design systems will help VA develop content that reduces this mental load and guides clinicians to key clinical decisions, resulting in improved health outcomes for Veterans.
“We’re thrilled to be working with VA on this data visualization project,” says Rico Rivera, Senior Director of Veterans Services at Coforma. “It allows us to build on an already deep portfolio of work with VA and continue our efforts there to solve technical problems in order to provide better services and healthcare experiences for our Veterans.”
For this project, we’ve assembled a multi-disciplinary team of research, design, engineering, product, and delivery specialists with our teaming partners, ThoughtWorks Federal. Over the next year, we’ll focus efforts primarily on Veteran healthcare improvements, researching and developing design patterns that will be used in clinical decision applications and health data delivery.
This work builds on our deep experience within the VA ecosystem. Coforma has previously helped VA migrate, adapt, and develop content for the modernized VA.gov experience and other associated products via the Centralized Content, Accessibility, and Information Architecture project. We have also built applications on the VA’s Clinical Decision Support (CDS) platform and integrated them with varying electronic health record (EHR) systems to improve clinical outcomes for Veterans, including completing a Lung Cancer Screening tool and pilot rollout to key facilities.
