NHS England announces £18 million EPR system for the justice system
A new electronic patient record (EPR) system will revolutionize health data capture in prisons, youth referral services, and asylum seeker detention centres within the Health and Justice area.
This initiative is part of NHS England’s digital strategy to enhance access to comprehensive health records, particularly focusing on integration among prison systems and primary care.
The pre-procurement process welcomes small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to participate and mandates the EPR’s adherence to specific criteria.
- Ensuring equitable access to comprehensive health records with seamless interoperability
- Safely managing health records for timely medical interventions and holistic wellness
- Providing data analysis tools for improved patient care
Suppliers are expected to offer insights for system enhancement, with a deadline for expressions of interest set for 6 September 2024.
NHS England is focused on modernizing IT systems, with opportunities for suppliers to engage in market events to learn more.
