Medical Grade Image Viewer and Communications Tool

This market exercise will be for the provision of a single software platform that includes the following. • the ability to create a zero-footprint common view of a patient's clinical data across provider settings; including the display of DICOM radiology images, cardiology images and visible light images (clinical photos) within a UKCA marked image viewer certified for clinical review, alongside blood results, ECGs, Spirometry, pathology reports etc. (non exhaustive). • the ability to acquire clinical photographs directly into the patient episode, using a zero-footprint photoacquisition mechanism with an inbuilt digital patient consent module. • the ability to acquire digital images of documents directly into the patient episode, using a zero footprint photoacquisition mechanism. • the ability to integrate across both primary and multiple secondary care settings simultaneously to pull in that clinical data to form the common view of the patient. • the ability to annotate results and images and link these as tagged items directly into chat messages. • the ability to facilitate structured end-end electronic referrals between primary and secondary care stakeholders, using fully configurable digital clinical referral forms and to present results and management discussions back to the primary care setting. • the ability to conduct a patient-centric asynchronous conversation that writes back to multiple care settings simultaneously. Chat features including delivery and read notifications, embedded images, direct messages and threaded conversations. • the ability to conduct end-end cross-provider care pathways with the ability to assign clinical labels to patients that link to stages of a particular pathway and which can be used to track progress along a pathway. • the ability to present clinical labels and pathway stages in a kanban dashboard that shows pathway status at a macro and patient specific level, giving administrators the ability to go from a regional view into a particular patient-level episode, complete with breach alerts at a sub-section level of the pathways (enabling early intervention to prevent breaches). • the ability to give patients direct access to their clinical data through a dedicated patient-facing, linked application. • the ability to host a patient's data within a dedicated, patient-centric cloud environment, linked to their NHS number, ensuring data availability to authorised clinical stakeholders 'out of area' (essential for watershed patients). • the ability to provide the platform both as a progressive web application but also native application on both ios and android. • the ability to securely share clinical data with third party providers, such as AI vendors, (where requested by NHS customers) for processing coupled with the ability to subsequently pull in AI reports and image overlays and present them within the patient episode and record. • the ability to create a summary of the chat upon discharge that integrates back with the primary care EPR, secondary care EPR and any regional share care record. • the ability to push and pull DICOM and JPEG images directly from imaging machines to cloud storage securely over a mobile network (3G or higher), directly from machine to patient episode, enabling remote image acquisition directly into the patient record from any location. • the ability to convert JPEG images to DICOM (in flight) for enhanced review functionality, governance and ease of storage. Additional information: Precise quantities are unknown. It is anticipated that initial expenditure will be in the region of £4,000,000 based on supporting a small number of NHS Trusts and could grow to £60,000,000 if more Trusts require the software platform. However this is an approximate only and the values may vary depending on the requirements of those bodies purchasing under the Framework Agreement.
