The HSE is issuing this Request to Participate (“RTP”) in a Dynamic Purchasing System (hereafter ‘the DPS’) for the provision of a Health Document Management System. The HSE is the Contracting Authority for this public procurement competition on its own behalf and on behalf of all organisations funded by the HSE. This system will • enable digital management of health files and to support safe and efficient scanning, uploading and management of documents. By implementing such a system, we aim to manage document storage, giving timely access to documents for all care providers. • allow remote access to key information to an increasingly mobile workforce and to provide a quicker response time for patient pathways by reducing clinical and administrative time spent on paperwork. • provide forms functionality including the ability to build and maintain forms within the application and to complete and attach forms to a record • ensure enhanced security compared to current paper records, facilitate assurance of regulatory compliance and enhanced auditing and tracking capabilities. • lower carbon emissions of our service and align with the HSE’s Climate Action Strategy 2023-2050. It is envisaged that this new digitalisation would become the default approach for document storage thereby reducing costs, paper waste and ultimately the HSE’s carbon footprint.

3. Open Competition for the provision of HIPE Data Quality Assessment Tool HSE 24029
The National Finance Division (NFD) carry accountability and responsibility for implementation of the Finance Reform Programme aligned to Sláintecare. The NFD drives continuous improvement consistent with Sláintecare, the Finance Reform Programme and the new Finance Operating Model i.e. the Integrated Financial Management and Procurement System (IFMS). This proposal is to procure and implement a clinical coding Data Quality Assessment Tool for the Hospital In-Patient Enquiry (HIPE) information system. The Healthcare Pricing Office seeks to acquire a Data Quality Assessment Tool to objectively assess the quality of HIPE coded data, for all hospitals who record and submit HIPE data that allows on-going measurement of data quality at hospital, regional and national level. The tool will need to interface with existing HIPE tools such as the HIPE Portal, which is developed and managed by the HPO. The tool should allow hospitals to review and improve their own data before submission to the central/ national file, allowing review by coder and by consultant, thereby improving the data quality at source.

4. Request to Participate (“RTP”) in a DPS for the provision of Unified Cyber Incident Response service. The HSE is the Contracting Authority for this public procurement competition on its own behalf and on behalf of all organisations funded by the HSE. On 14 May 2021, the HSE was subjected to a serious criminal cyberattack (the “Incident”), through the infiltration of IT systems using Conti Ransomware. Over 80 percent of IT infrastructure impacted leading to unavailability of key patient information and diagnostics. To rapidly enhance the security operations and strengthen the cyber defence posture post the Incident, a number of security services were stood up on an emergency basis. HSE are now in the journey towards standardising these capabilities and associated services. The Post Incident Review (PIR) that was carried out following the incident has highlighted the need for integrating existing siloed incident response processes into a unified cyber incident response capability. The vision of this service is to effectively and consistently have the capability to unify the cyber incident response across multiple HSE organisational constructs.

6. DPS Qualification: Provision of Remote Health Monitoring Technologies to Support the Implementation of Virtual Ward Care Model Solutions
(HSE ref. 23112)
The HSE is issuing this Request to Participate (“RTP”) in a Dynamic Purchasing System (hereafter ‘the DPS’) for the provision of Remote Health Monitoring Technologies to support the implementation of Virtual Ward care models via a fully end to end vendor managed solution. The HSE is the Contracting Authority for this public procurement competition on its own behalf and on behalf of all organisations funded by the HSE. A Virtual Ward is a time-limited, safe, and efficient alternative to bedded care enabled by technology that aims to support people who have an acute condition, or exacerbation of a chronic condition requiring hospital-level care, to receive this high acuity care in the place they call home. This approach can provide both an alternative to hospital admission at the Emergency Department, and/or facilitate an earlier discharge from a hospital ward for medical and surgical patients. This DPS will support the implementation of Virtual Wards and associated service capabilities within adult, older persons, and paediatric services across, but not limited to, respiratory, cardiology, and endocrinology pathways. The HSE is seeking to procure an effective and successful market proven, end-to-end vendor managed solution ready for immediate deployment. A central component of the Virtual Ward Solution supported by Remote Health Monitoring Technologies service will be a comprehensive fully vendor managed (end-to-end) solution, including the provision and support of a suite of web-based application(s) and clinical measurement equipment, to facilitate acute clinical care delivered remotely by a multidisciplinary team (MDT) if clinically appropriate and with clear lines of clinical responsibility and governance. This solution will facilitate the avoidance of hospital admission and/or early hospital discharge by providing safe technology that allows suitable patients to be clinically monitored from where they call home.
