Description

Introduction

The Kent Integrated Dataset (KID) is one of the most comprehensive health and social care data sets in the country. The KID has won numerous awards as part of the Kent Integrated Pioneer Programme. We are using it to generate an evidence base to support system modelling by identifying the economic, efficiency and effectiveness of individual services, and being able to assess the relative benefit of services compared to one another.

The KID is hosted by HISBI who are part of Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust.

One of the key challenges for the KID is to unlock its potential for front line clinicians, so we are procuring a partner to work with HIS BI. We have reviewed the market and know there are several providers out there who offer off the shelf solutions, with ready-made dashboards tailored to our needs.

This notice is to let others know of this opportunity, who we may not be aware of.

Requirements

We are therefore looking for a simple, high quality product with the following functionality.

Core functionality

- Compliance with all NHS Information Governance standards
- Web based access and secure log in
- Quick mobilisation and training for users and super users
- Online web access anytime
- Cloud based system accessible from any computer
- The dashboard functionality must enable all clinicians to use it quickly and easily to review patient data whilst multi-tasking with other clinical roles throughout the day
- The ability to see top 100 patients in terms of risk and spend, as well as drill down to the individual patient:
- A simple presentation style that shows the real-time journey of patients through the care system and across providers, with associated times, cost and activity
- A risk stratification tool with flexible variables to allow each local area to adjust risk criteria according to local approach
- Additional scope to build bespoke dashboards included in the price
- Clients will include all local care systems (IACOS/ MCPs), CCG
Finance and Performance teams

Support

What will really make this product work is a can-do organisation, who can be responsive and has high quality technical and analytical staff to provide personalised support to each local area.

Mobilisation

As the data is already within the data warehouse we would expect the provider to achieve a 6-week mobilisation process

Contract envelope

We are only interested in talking to bidders who can offer a competitive, high quality package. Up to £75K.

Future

We are currently going out to the market via the Lead Provider Framework (LPF) to procure commissioning support services.

This contract will be for 12-18 months prior to letting a new contract with an LPF provider for commissioning support services across
Kent CCGs.
