Description

Hertfordshire County Council ('the Council') wishes to invite interested Providers to return the PPME Appendix A- Supplier Questionnaire by 12.00 (noon) Friday 20th October 2023.

The Council will consider the input and responses received as part of its PPME to help inform the Council's options and further decision making regarding the below intended project and to help inform its specification.

Project Background

The work of Hertfordshire's Public Health Service underpins the health and wellbeing of residents and the County Council's Corporate Plan. Public Health has responsibilities in several areas that play a significant role in the Hertfordshire Health and Wellbeing Strategy and the Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Strategy.

Recently, Public Health have committed to developing improvements to its health and well-being offer to better align to the needs of individuals with multiple and complex unhealthy behaviours. Some key principles such as proportional universalism, integration, holistic and person-centred are important features.

The detailed requirement is provided in P P M E document. Second stage triage: phone call to determine an individual's risk - tier based on their health behaviour risk and their ability and motivation to change. Work). This PPME focuses on the Digital Triage Tool.

Current Position and Scope

Significant work has been undertaken to develop the triage tool to date. A co-production group has been established and has compiled the user needs (detailed in the P P M E Document). These user needs set out what is in scope for the digital triage tool. Out of scope is children and medical health and wellbeing triage.

Wireframed prototypes of the tool are currently under development, based on the work of a co-production group and consultation with end users. Therefore we do not expect research for user needs to be extensive, however, making ...
