Sole Source Justification: The interviews are an extension of a program begun in 1985 entitled "Leaders in American Medicine." Ms. Diane Rehm successfully conducted those interviews for the Library. This new series will involve individuals who were leaders in the Regional Medical Programs. The same interviewer will ensure continuity, and with proven experience, quality results. The proposed interviews require the services of an experienced, professional interviewer. Ms. Rehm is uniquely qualified in view of her experience not only with her prior NLM interviews but with her long standing position as talk show host with WAMU-FM, National Public Radio Affiliate, in Washington. Justification of Need: The Director, NIM, is sponsoring a meeting entitled "Regional Medical Programs: Legislation and Activities in the U.S. (1965- 74)" to be held December 6, 1991. The Regional Medical Program (RMP) was a major NIH endeavor and an important effort to improve health care delivery. There is virtually no historical record of the events that occurred in years past. The Director determined that an oral history from individuals associated with the Regional Medical Programs is needed. The proposed project will contribute to the re-examination of RMP expectations, implementations, and will illuminate a clearer path to effective health policy now and in the future. STATEMENT OF WORK Background This statement of work is in support of a series of interviews that will be conducted at the NIM prior to and in conjunction with a one-day meeting at the NLM on "Regional Medical Programs: Legislation and Activities in the U.S. (1965-74)" sponsored by the Director, NLM. The Regional Medical Program was a major NIH endeavor and an important effort to improve health care delivery. There is almost no historical record of these events. The Director determined that a series of interviews with individuals involved in the RMP program will, along with the conference, remedy this. In 1985, a Leaders in American Medicine interview series was conducted by the NLM. This project is an extension of that program, concentrating this time on leaders who were associated with the Regional Medical Program. Purpose and Objectives The overall goal is to contribute to the history of medicine by providing an oral history from individuals associated with the ———- Regional Medical Programs. The project will contribute to the re- examination of RMP expectations, implementations, and ultimately the circumstances of its abandonment, and will illuminate a clearer path to effective health policy now and in the future. Contractor Requirements The contractor will personally conduct approximately six interviews to be taped at the National Library of Medicine. The contractor will review NLM provided background material, edit NLM prepared draft introductory statements, and adapt NLM sample questions to develop the format and thrust of each interview. Government Responsibilities The NLM will select and schedule individuals to be interviewed and provide the on-site location and staff for taping the interviews. Prior to each interview, the NLM will provide background material, draft introductory statements, and sample questions pertinent to each interview. Period of Performance From date of award through December 31, 1991. Specific dates for each interview will be scheduled at times that take into consideration the schedule of the contractor and the individual being interviewed. Inspection and Acceptance Requirements Actual taping of the interviews will be conducted on-site by NLM staff and will be monitored in process. NIM will review finished product to ensure selected interview questions produced the desired emphasis and coverage of subject. The latter will be indicated to Ms. Rehm through background material and sample questions provided to her prior to each interview session. eee wee oe eo meee ov 7° ™ - . | . wm, © ey a, es - A 4g uC
