Lot 1: The Regional Theatre Management System (RTMS) has been operational since April 2007 and is used extensively both at Trust and Regional levels as a vital information tool that assists with Strategic Service Changes and Productivity Improvements. This is achieved through the use of data provided from the system to monitor such aspects as the utilisation of theatres and the patient experience through the monitoring of patient procedure cancellations. RTMS provides the Trusts with vital information to monitor their Service Level Agreements and Key Performance Indicators against HSCB targets. The extension of support for the existing system is essential to ensure continued effective use of the system and support of the associated service until the point at which it can be replaced by the encompass solution. It is also required to facilitate transition management from the legacy system to the encompass solution including potential support for decommissioning and data retention/disposal requirements. In assessing the options, BSO has confirmed with the HSC Trusts the continuing need for and commitment to the use and exploitation of the RTMS for the foreseeable future (and for at least 5 years).
