Notice Details

Welch Allyn Spot Vision Screeners devices are a key part of the Bureau of School Health’s vision screening process and are used to determine patients’ eyeglass prescriptions. Approximately 900 public and non-public schools in New York City through the DOHMH Bureau of School Health (“Bureau”) are currently utilizing the requested items and DOHMH is seeking this brand-specific. Use of the requested brand of devices will enable a seamless integration with the existing Automated Service Health Record (ASHR) system already in use, which is used to upload and download data for vision screening results. The Welch Allyn devices are currently the only known devices that are compatible with the ASHR system. The implementation of any other brand would require rewriting the system code and modifying the ASHR system.
