description
This is a Prior Information Notice and invite to Market Interest Day for a LIMS requirement for Defence Medical Services (DMS)
| 1. | Defence Pathology is a critical component of the healthcare provided to maintain the health and fitness of the deployed force.This is principally an Occupationally driven, General Practice led, Primary Care Service that includes Rehabilitation, Mental Healthcare, Occupational Health and Sexual Healthcare capabilities tailored to the size and composition of the deployed population at risk (PAR). For all specialities, the LIMS is the primary repository of data relating to testing and subsequent reporting. |

a.Blood Sciences
b.Transfusion
c.Microbiology

The medical capabilities on deployments should be considered as a network providing care through fixed, mobile and peripatetic service delivery methods. |
| 4. | LIMS products for use in deployed theatres of operations should be able to operate with extended periods of poorly connected or dis-connected network availability and support digital integration in the following ways. Therefore, intermittent connectivity forms a core element of the Statement of Requirements. |
