Tender description

At Norfolk Community Health and Care, our focus is on continually improving the quality of care we offer to local people and on improving access to that care, helping people to move seamlessly from one service to another. We serve a population of nearly 900 000 people in Norfolk with community health and care services, as well as providing a specialist early supported discharge service to stroke patients in Norfolk and Suffolk. To increase the quality of care provided to our patients, NCH&C are looking to enhance use of our Electronic Patient Record (EPR) system, by accessing and updating patient records in real time in our ward environment. The trust would like to consider how using mobile/agile or fixed technologies will enable delivery of this vision. The trust are seeking expressions of interest from qualified and capable service providers and re-sellers able to provide products that satisfy our criteria. The trust has approximately 400 staff working on (12) inpatient wards and anticipate a purchase of 80-100 workstations and associated hardware (depending on product type and agile service options). Products available will enable real time treatment of patients in the ward environment — either via a mobile or fixed point (to a wall) system. Products should meet the following criteria as a minimum: — enable clinicians to input patient data at a patients bedside, — carts (If applicable) and hardware supplied need to be in line with medical infection control standards, — must have area for external mouse and keyboard, — should be able to mount external monitor (if applicable to the technology type), — must have lockable storage for one third of workstations required due to security reasons, — provide some form of storage for workstation accessories and other equipment, — must be ergonomic and therefore have the ability to raise and lower the height of the workstation.
