With this RFI North East Essex CCG is seeking to learn the level of possible interest from organisations in relation to the provision of an electronic solution to coordinate advice, information and guidance between GP practices and consultants within secondary care. The outcome of the service will be to avoid hospital admissions / out-patient referrals onto secondary care services where possible with access and support from appropriate advice, information and guidance. The same information will be gathered from different organisations to inform our service model and future procurement plan. The CCG is seeking to commission a high quality, timely and accessible service to NHS patients that will focus on patient outcomes in line with NICE guidelines. The successful organisation will provide a digital solution in a range of formats (telephone, video etc) to receive real-time requests from GPs for advice, information and guidance and will provide a suitable pathway into appropriate clinical services to support GPs to achieve the outcomes set out above. The process will require there be an audit trail and that monthly reporting details a summary of month and YTD performance.
