The Provision of Healthcare Clinical Information Systems

The Procurement of a Framework for Healthcare Clinical Information Systems that will assist contracting authorities to support healthcare staff in the assessment, planning and delivery of better patient care, strengthen the information and resource base for research and development, clinical audit, teaching and training activity. It will allow for improvement in the quality of patient-based data, the efficient handling and processing of that data and improve the management and administration of clinical and non-clinical services while improving the reporting mechanism and ability to extract required information from the system in timely manner as requested.

A key focus for the renewal will be ensuring data quality, interpretation and interoperability, as well as innovations which have emerged following the pandemic relating to patient and clinician collaboration using core clinical systems, for example software supplemented with mobile apps and video consultation. Population health solutions are also being considered for inclusion.
