About the work

Why the work is being done
This work is the first phase of South West London (SWL) Local Digital Roadmap which will support the implementation of the new models of care and transformation schemes.
It will be the first stage of SWL - wide information sharing across borough boundaries which will support future information sharing initiatives and will support the Sustainable and Transformation Plan's aims to reduce non-elective admissions, improve hospital productivity, and support the delivery of coordinated general practice at scale.
The interoperability solution will build on existing borough level interoperability projects in SWL to harness existing information sharing solution capabilities that are already.
Problem to be solved
Summary, the Interoperability solution will enable the following:
A standardised extract from all GP records in SWL will be viewable across all SWL A&es, UCCs and 111/OOH, and viewed within the existing clinical system already. All GP practices in SWL will be able to view their patients' electronic hospital records from all four acute hospitals in SWL, either within their native system (in the case of EMIS), or through an additional login (in the case INPS). Where is and existing Graphnet portal, SWL & ST George's users will be able to view the patient's GP record for all GP Practices.
Who the users are and what they need to do
The users in the first phase are primary care and the four acute hospitals that operate in South West London. However what is delivered in phase one must be compatible for phase two when that becomes live.
Early market engagement
Any work that’s already been done
Preliminary work has been undertaken to establish what clinicians need from a tactical solution to enable improvements in health outcomes for patients and to support reductions in hospital readmissions; increase parity of esteem for patients with a mental health condition presenting at an acute hospital and the reduction in non-elective admissions, to name a few. The firm engaged has worked on finding the most appropriate and practical solution taking into consideration all the various stakeholders in the market place and their individual needs.
Existing team
The successful tenderer will be lead by the Interoperability Digital Team (IDT).

Working arrangements

The detail will be discussed with the successful tenderer on appointment. In relation to expenses, this must be included in the contract sum, there is not a separate budget for expenses.
