NHS 111 Wales Online Symptom Checkers

Descriptions

This contract is for the supply of an online symptom checker software solution for members of the public to access via the 111 Wales Website. The symptom checkers are required for public use, to aid decision making, provide self-care information and access to urgent unscheduled care. The symptom checkers provide an alternative service to the 111 Wales telephony service and this contract will enable the symptom checkers to be based on those triage algorithms currently used by non-clinical call handlers within the 111 Wales telephony service. The symptom checkers will enable a member of the public to answer a series of questions about their symptoms and then provide health information. Depending upon the outcome a person may for example be signposted to contact another service such as a pharmacist. The solution will also enable an end user to enter their demographic details and through integration with other 111 Wales systems enable subsequent remote clinical assessment and call back to be facilitated. The solution is required to be accessible from the 111 Wales Website however whilst the solution will be interoperable with the 111 Wales Website the 111 Wales Website itself is out of scope of this contract. This contract is also for the supply of professional services to enable the implementation of the solution as well as the associated licences for the software. The contract also includes the supply of ongoing support and maintenance services.
