Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust (also referred to as the 'Trust' in related documents and notices) requires the provision of an Electronic Patient Record (EPR) / Integrated Digital Care Record (IDCR) solution (software and services) to support the delivery of integrated community health services. The solution will be used and accessed by Trust staff as well as other organisations who need to have access to the solution to support patient care. This may include other healthcare organisations, social care partners and independent sector providers. The solution must be capable of supporting the delivery of care across multiple care settings including integration and interoperability with existing and future Trust systems. The contract will include data migration, system training, deployment, operational reporting, change management, maintenance and support. The solution can be hosted by the supplier (via N3, therefore it is a requirement for bidders to already have N3 Certification or can demonstrate that this certification will be in place by the time of contract signature) or, if appropriate, by the Trust. The solution must be robust, secure and flexible enough to support all current and potential future needs of the Trust. The solution will be required to capture real-time data from across the Trust (this must include the ability for supporting Mobile Disconnected Working). The solution must interface with legacy systems and national applications (NHS SPINE e.g. Summary Care Record, Patient Demographic Service etc) and be capable of exchanging patient data with social care, GP and systems belonging to other healthcare organisations. The solution must support services provided to both Children and Adults. The solution must provide information to clinicians and other staff; and potentially offer online access for patients to view (and possibly append to) their clinical record. The solution must offer data extraction facilities that support the Trusts business functions, and allow the Trust to provide appropriate data extracts to Commissioners and their support organisations. The solution should be capable of contributing to a local Health Economy shared care record; including Out of Hours services. The Trust is seeking to award the contract for a period of 5 years. The Supplier may want to offer the solution on a managed service basis. Information about the Trust is available from our website and our annual report (http://www.shropscommunityhealth.nhs.uk/rte.asp?id=10326).
