Description

We are looking for interested parties able to deliver the specification ahead of a Procurement.

The Blood Sciences laboratory at Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth provides a blood clotting analytical service for patients taking the blood thinning drug, warfarin. Once results are complete we use a piece of software to calculate whether a dose adjustment is required and reports containing the most recent result, previous results and the dose of the drug to take are printed, sealed and posted first class to the patient. This printed report is also used as the request form for the next blood test.

We are looking to outsource this current printing and postage service because it is a single point of failure in the process. We would also like to move away from printing and posting of reports and transition to an e-portal whereby patients are alerted by text or other message that their most recent report is available. They would log-in securely to view the report but with an appropriate failsafe system in place for those who sign up but neglect to log into the portal e.g. after 48 hours, a postal report is issued if a patient has not acknowledged their report.

The long term aim here is to reduce the time taken for patients to be made aware of their report and also to reduce and eventually eliminate postage costs.
