The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Technology Acquisition Center is seeking information on the availability of capable sources to provide a commercial telecommunications short message service (SMS) gateway service to send SMS appointment reminders to Veterans. VA has developed a software solution, (VEText), that allows Veterans to confirm or cancel medical appointments from a text message without VA staff intervention. VEText is integrated with Veterans Integrated System Technology Architecture (VistA) scheduling system to remind patients of their scheduled appointments and allow cancellation if necessary.
