The solution will be used and accessed by Oxford Health staff, as well as other organisations who need to have access to the solution to support patient care. This includes Social Care partners, Research and Education partners, and 3rd sector care provider organisations. Oxford Health is seeking to award a contract for the provision of a managed service solution capable of supporting the delivery of care across multiple care settings including Integration and Interoperability (with existing and future Trust systems), Data Migration, System Training, Deployment, Operational Reporting, Change Management, Maintenance and Support, and Hosting Services. The service (software and infrastructure) must be robust, secure and flexible enough to support all current and potential future needs of the Trust. The solution will be required to, amongst other things, capture real time data from across the Trust and interface with the National Programme for IT and legacy systems, provide information to clinicians and administrative staff and link with Choose and Book, the Spine, the Summary Care Record, and with health and social care systems before, during and after a patient’s discharge from the Trust’s care. Oxford Health is seeking to award the contract for the provision of an EHR delivered on a managed service basis, for an initial period of five years from commencement of the managed service, with provision to extend for periods of up to five years.

About Oxford Health:
Oxford Health provides specialist mental health services to people of all ages in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire, forensic mental health services across the Thames Valley, mental health services for children and adolescents in Bath and North East Somerset, as well as specialist eating disorder services for adults in Wiltshire. The Trust also provides extensive community health services to people in Oxfordshire.
Oxford Health is comprised of more than 6,200 staff working out of 170 locations. At any time the Trust is treating in the region of 130,000 patients. In the last year there have been more than 1.2 million patient appointments completed, 30% of these took place in the patient’s home.
Oxford Health works in partnership with other organisations: with the University of Oxford to promote innovation in healthcare and to train doctors and psychologists; with Oxford Brookes University and the University of Bedfordshire and Thames Valley to train nurses and allied health professionals; with GPs, local acute hospitals, local authorities and voluntary organisations to provide joined up care.
Oxford Health aims to provide the best possible service to all its stakeholders. These include: service users, carers, local communities, and partner providers within health and social care. Oxford Health’s vision is for ‘outstanding care delivered by outstanding people’. Further information about Oxford Health can be found at: www.oxfordhealth.nhs.uk/

The Next Generation EHR Project:
The Next Generation EHR Project is a major change project with a number of service improvement and technical components. The EHR will relate to potentially every part of the Trust’s operations. As such, it must be highly effective and usable beyond current systems, boundaries and processes. The new solution must address the challenges of the future and solve the frustrations of the present, whilst maintaining the flexibility, mobility and ease of use commonly associated with paper.
Over 8,000 smartcard users are currently active within the Trust, reflecting the existing health record system user base. The change required to deliver a successful next generation EHR will be far reaching. Success will rely on gathering the experience and knowledge of many clinical and managerial staff that currently use systems, use this valuable resource to envision a better way of delivering care, and work jointly with the successful supplier to create the next generation EHR.
The project must deliver this next generation EHR to all services, by the Summer of 2015, to ensure timely exit from the current system contract.
Estimated value excluding VAT:
Range: between 50 000 and 400 000 GBP
