This is to understand citizen's needs, motivations and behaviours with regards to digital tools and services. To support delivery of a number of digital strategies we require new evidence on: • the factors that drive and sustain digital utilisation for targeted populations; • the features that enable people to become and stay connected with the NHS and their benefits; • understand key diversity needs specific to London to deliver digital inclusion agenda (e.g. those with visibility and hearing difficulties); • how to improve citizen experience and outcomes, and efficiencies for the NHS. The supplier will properly test: The functions - what online services and transactions that people most value, for example this might include: • Accessing your medical record (held by your GP) • Accessing your care plan • Conducting transactions such as booking appointments, ordering repeat prescriptions • Receiving alerts and notifications - (i.e. test results) • Contributing to care plans - (i.e. uploading own measurements from apps and wearables) • Managing a personal health budget • Having a telephone, e-consultation (skype) or webchat instead of going to a GP surgery or an Outpatient appointment • Accessing self-help service (i.e. symptom checkers) and peer support (i.e. online forums) The features - how do people want to be able to do this? Areas to explore might include: • In registering for online services, what levels of security, identity verification process would people expect to undertake in order to get access to online services? • How do people want to log into online services - through an official NHS website or through other routes? • What features will increase digital inclusion for people with disabilities and those for whom English is not a first language? • Features that would support people who are not digitally literate? Proposals should be submitted in writing to Charlotte Owen, HLP's Personalisation & Self-Care Project Officer, by emailing completed proposals to by 12noon on Wednesday 22 February. Interested suppliers have the opportunity to book a 30min telecon with the project team on 17, 20 and 21 February. Please contact Charlotte to book your appointment. Please see attached briefing document for further details. Additional information: Using a segmented population approach, as highlighted in appendix B (in attached document), to produce a clear understanding of: - How to get citizens digitally connected and activated • What do people see as the main advantages/benefits of transactions (e.g. convenience) and what types of transactions would they value most? • When are people more likely to be engaged in online services? • What particular functions or features would make different population groups more likely to access digital tools and services (i.e. webchat) and what would be deemed appropriate for specific formats? • What would engender trust in the process of accessing digital tools? • What would make people not use digital services - (i.e. complicated process, poor navigation, lack of trust in the process, fear of data security breaches, having multiple log-ins and having to remember multiple passwords) • The impact of service availability on people's motivations and behaviours (i.e. limited service availability when booking appointment slots) • An understanding of what factors result in digital solutions NOT being accepted • What are people's tolerance thresholds (e.g. what levels of security are the prepared to go through before they get bored/frustrated and don't bother to complete the process?) ii. How to drive digital inclusion • What functionality and features would enable socially excluded groups to become more digitally enabled (e.g. learning disabilities, sensory disabilities, people for whom English is not a first language, people who are not digitally literate). There is a requirement to work with lay partners to look at groups with low levels of digital literacy. Please apply directly to the buyer using the contact details provided.
