The vision is to replace the current system, which is nearing end of life, with a ‘digital’ solution which will facilitate, a ‘best of breed’ approach to the component parts of an all-Wales Community Care Information System. Components will include, but not be limited to. provision of a Shared Care Record Mental Health Social Care Community Care, and. Health services Potential provider(s) will likely need to include (subject to market discussions): platform(s) to enable c.18000 health and care professionals to access the information in a safe and secure way according to their job role supporting infrastructure and software services to underpin the information sharing solution including and integration engine and data store integration services to enable data to be published and consumed from local IT systems and national data services flexible e-Form capability for data capture and sharing professional services including Account Management, Project Management, Design, Configuration, Development, Testing, and Implementation Services support for data cleansing and migration from the current system Although the current scope of work outlines a “Best of Breed” approach we are interested to learn of new and innovative ways to deliver the service in a modern environment that will be sustainable, flexible, and evolving in the years ahead.
