The University awarded a contract for metabolic diagnosis and management assistance.
Virtual Medical Practice LLC shall provide metabolic diagnosis and management assistance to University of Illinois clinicians through the use of simple and secure technology. This procurement is necessary to allow for continuation of specialized medical services for children affected with genetic metabolic disorders.
This purchase is exempt from the usual selection processes of the Procurement Code because the procurement expenditure is for medical supplies or medical at a university-operated health care center or dispensary that provides care, treatment, and medications for students, faculty and staff (30 ILCS 500 / 1-13(b-5)) There are very few physicians nationwide with such specialty, and who are able to manage the care of these patients. VMP services are needed to step in and guide care when our metabolic geneticist is not on call. This allows us to continue to provide quality care to our patients.
