Diabetic Eye Screening (DES TAT) 25/26
Authority: NHS England (Central government)·Consortium: 2 public authorities
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Diabetic Eye Screening Test and Training (DES TAT) system is crucial for the NHS Diabetic Eye Screening Programme (DESP), ensuring staff are trained to detect diabetic retinopathy accurately. This vital quality assurance minimizes diagnostic variability, helping to prevent blindness in diabetic patients.
The Discovery project (BC-21699) will evaluate DES TAT to confirm its alignment with modern digital standards, assessing user needs, functionality, and infrastructure. The project will explore enhancements, cost-efficiencies, and potential integration with PERFORMS TAT and PERFECT TAT into a unified modular system.
Key goals include validating user requirements, reviewing the current infrastructure for compliance and improvement, enhancing cost-efficiency, and defining a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). The aim is to modernize DES TAT while retaining essential features and exploring decommissioning outdated components.
