C120255 - Digital platform to support Anatomical Tomography Voxel Streaming (ATVS) for Cross Site Reporting / Streaming

The NHSE South West Region would like to implement a single solution that provides a unified reporting streaming experience for their Pathology and Radiology in the first instance and then developing out to further 'ologies as the clinical networks develop.

The solution should allow for image data to be transferred and accessed in a bi-directional manner to support shared care of patients without compromising on speed of access and image fidelity on a near real-time basis.

The deliverables include but are not limited to modification, (during and post implementation), installation, integration, implementation and relevant on-going support of a capital funded asset (ICT system) which will support improved service.

The platform should be accessible across the group of hospitals and from remote locations without the need for complex, expensive end-user hardware to allow for flexibility, and ease of use while maintaining a consistent in-hospital experience from all locations.
