Notice Information
Notice Title
MHCS Next Programme Consultancy
Notice Description
CAV UHB is navigating a complex digital transformation to replace its legacy EPR system, with early focus on data migration approach and operational baseline understanding. The MHCS Next programme is a major digital transformation, aiming to deploy a new Electronic Patient Record (EPR) across approximately 176 clinical services in Mental Health, Community Health, and Therapies. This initiative is driven by the end of contract with the current EPR supplier, prompting a strategic shift towards modern, interoperable digital solutions. The bespoke structure of clinical data in the legacy PARIS system adds significant complexity to the EPR migration programme, necessitating an early focus on the Data Migration strategy. The current state processes are inconsistently documented, meaning there is currently no clearly defined operational baseline for the EPR programme to work from.
Lot Information
Lot 1
Due to the project-specific nature of the task, D&HI department are looking to appoint Channel 3 due to their familiarity with the Health Board and past proven record of delivering on complex requirements across NHS Wales, including DHCW, as well as NHS England (considering cross border flows of care, especially recognising C&V UHB leading status).
Procurement Information
Delivering the MHCS Readiness Programme requires deep understanding of Cardiff and Vale UHB's legacy systems and the complexities they introduce to future technology design. Continuity of service and timely decision-making are critical to mitigate risks associated with the transition from PARIS to a new EPR.
