Provision of an Auditory Implant Service Clinical Database

The University of Southampton is seeking a fully hosted (Software As A Service (SAAS)) Clinical IT System which is not reliant on integration with separate patient administration, appointment booking and stock control systems. It must also have the capability of managing lifelong care for patients within the auditory implant service. Due to the ongoing support requirements of patients, the current database, which has in excess of 2800records, is to be migrated from the existing database to the new system and this process must be managed by the Service Provider as part of their implementation. Due to the specialist nature of this requirement, the University is looking for Potential Suppliers who have experience of providing COTS (commercial off the shelf) extensible IT systems to support clinics, providing out-patient services to the NHS which is not reliant on integration with a separate patient administration system. The USAIS preferred approach is to have, as far as possible, the Service Provider configure, rather than customise, their COTS IT system to meet USAIS requirements. Some custom development may also be required in order to meet the requirements which are unique to the context of the auditory implant service. The IT system needs to be extensible to allow it to adapt to deliver new integrated care pathways and to support new types of clinical test. Please note numerous types of clinical test exist in the current system. Patients currently no access to the current IT system. USAIS strategy is to utilise the new IT system to improve the online offering to patients on communicating with the service, ordering spares, managing appointments and accessing reports and test results.
