This Prior Information Notice (PIN) solely relates to early market engagement around the development of a once for Scotland Digital Heart Failure System. The aim of any potential project will be to adopt digital technology that can display, capture and collate relevant clinical information and bring the benefits of enhanced vetting, investigation, and diagnostic decision-making methods to clinicians. In order to reduce the time from referral with suspected heart failure to diagnosis and initiation of appropriate treatment the digital product will need to provide an active, near real-time dashboard of: - patients referred with suspected heart failure who are awaiting diagnosis (diagnostic dashboard). This will greatly enhance the opportunity for clinicians to undertake Active Clinical Referral Triage (ACRT), allowing supervising teams to stratify risk, determine the need for and urgency of face-to-face review and, where appropriate, initiate up-front treatment ahead of formal diagnosis / review. - patients newly diagnosed with heart failure who are awaiting initiation of core drug therapies (treatment dashboard)
