RTL040P CHIS

Tender description

North East London CSU (NEL CSU) on behalf of NHS England London and Central Midlands (the Commissioner(s)) is inviting tenders from suitably qualified and experienced providers to deliver the service provision Child Health Information Service (CHIS). NHS England London Region and Central Midlands wish to procure a solution to support CHIS. CHIS is a patient administration system that provides a clinical record for individual children (from the antenatal period to 19 years of age) and supports a variety of child health related activities, including universal services for population health and support for statutory functions. For example, immunisations and childhood screening as well as support for children with Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND). Information and data flows to and from a range of services with different NHS commissioning bodies, e.g. CCG commissioned maternity services, NHS England commissioned GP practices and Local Authority commissioned School Nursing and Health Visiting services. London currently commissions 18 different CHIS providers over 4 different CHIS IT systems. This arrangement is an historic one inherited from PCTs.
