Invitation to Tender - Simulation training

The organisation's Clinical Systems Team have provided a classroom-based training methodology for staff onboarding to the organisation and for clinical students who require training in the organisation's primary Electronic Health Record (EHR) system: System One. The training has historically been provided by a dedicated training professional within the team. Simulation training has been identified as a more sustainable approach to EHR training this was noted in the pre-market analysis which the organisation undertook prior to this tender opportunity.

WCHC Digital Services are looking to procure a simulation training software solution for an initial 6-month pilot for training on the Trust's primary EHR system. In the event of a successful pilot, the organisation would be looking to retain the software solution as the primary method of System One training and explore further applications of the solution across the organisation.

Neighbouring system partners such as Clatterbridge Cancer Centre (CCC) and Liverpool University Hospitals (LUFT) NHS Foundation Trusts have successfully incorporated simulation training into their organizations. WCHC want to ensure we remain current with emerging practices by implementing simulation training.

WCHC's digital strategy states that "Our Vision is... to drive the highest standards of digital maturity so we can provide a workplace that enables our staff to deliver the safest and best possible care to our population and improve health outcomes throughout the communities we serve." A fundamental principle of this is supporting services to adopt new technology, with the ultimate aims of; supporting teams to deliver efficient, safe, high-quality care; helping people access services easily and manage their own health and wellbeing; improving wider population health; improving the working environment for our workforce.
