STRAT3377 - Electronic Anaesthetics Recordkeeping System.

Descriptions

UCLPartners Procurement Service (PPS) on behalf of Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust is seeking to procure an electronic anaesthetic record-keeping system and related services. Anaesthesia is currently provided in over twenty separate locations within Great Ormond Street Hospital, and in each case the anaesthetic record is currently kept on paper. The trust is seeking to introduce an electronic anaesthetic record-keeping system, which will provide the following capabilities: the means to record observations, drug and fluid administrations, actions and incidents during the induction and maintenance of anaesthesia and during recovery; the capture of data through a human user interface and, automatically, from medical devices, barcode readers and other systems; features to enhance patient safety, in particular the double checking of drug administrations; obviation of the need to keep any paper-based records, whether permanent or temporary (though retaining the ability to generate a paper copy of the anaesthetic record if required) ; the electronic storage of the anaesthetic record; the provision of tools (or support for third-party tools) for the reporting of clinical and management information; the ability to make data captured within the system immediately available to other systems; the protection of the integrity and confidentiality of the patient record; conformity with best practice and mandated standards, both at present and in future. The trust also requires the following services in respect of the systems described above: installation, configuration and deployment; end-user training and training on the use of administration and reporting tools; implementation support; on-going support and upgrades; consultancy and development services.
