Description

BOB ICB are researching options for the provision of a clinical decision support solution (CDSS) for use across the BOB ICB footprint. The CDSS will act as a repository for documentation including, but not limited to:

­- Local and Regional clinical management guidelines and protocols;
­- Referral pathways;
­- Diagnostic tools;
­- Medicines and prescribing guidance;
­- Forms for referral or investigation where those do not integrate into a clinical system;
­- Information leaflets;
­- Our aim is to improve service delivery by accessibly providing the most up to date, well governed documentation.

There must be contingencies in a solution for migration of data from a mixed economy of pre-existing systems.

The aim of this exercise is to understand the provider market, current and emerging practice, as well as likely level of interest in the potential procurement activity BOB ICB may carry out. We would appreciate the opportunity to gain insights into how your organisation could approach the delivery and implementation of a Clinical Decision Support Solution.

Please could you consider responding to this Notice by completing a questionnaire to we can gain an improved understanding of the market and your organisation.

No questions in the questionnaire are scored. There are no word counts for any of the responses. Responses to the questionnaire will not impact any evaluation of any future opportunity.

Your input, effort and support are very much sought and will be appreciated to aid and inform BOB ICB in developing the most appropriate strategy and approach.

A response to the questionnaire does not guarantee an automatic invitation to any subsequent formal process which BOB ICB will consider in due course. BOB ICB will not be liable for costs incurred by any interested part in participating in this exercise.

This process is being managed by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit on behalf of BOB ICB.
