Technical requirements: In the regional sub-strategy for the technology area, the South Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority specifies digital home follow-up as one of four priority areas within the ambition to use new technology for better health care.
The patient can, to a greater degree, be an active participant in their own treatment by facilitating patient and user participation through digital channels. Follow-up and treatment is currently governed by the calendar to a large degree, and governed by needs and events to a lesser degree. It will also be important to facilitate increased cooperation on the patient across sectors.
-Increased therapist capacity, through reduced admittance times, and reduced admissions and outpatients consultations per patient.
The South Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority will facilitate digital home follow-up both through the establishment of a regional process platform, where a flexible service development team can develop transverse work flow and applications that meet the health authorities' needs, and through the establishment of framework agreements with tenderers within digital home follow-up, which can offer products that exist in the market, and which can be integrated with the core systems in the South Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority and the process platform when this is available in a secure way.
Digital home follow-up is currently established in a number of trusts in the South Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority. This is done by the use of software from suppliers that offer systems for home follow-up. Local contracts have been established, and functionality has been developed that is used for patients in each health trust. Functionality used in one trust can only be used in another trust in the region to a small degree. Neither are there clear guidelines for how such systems are to interact with other systems used in the region.
The establishment of regional framework agreements for digital home follow-up will ensure that all the health trusts in the South Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority have the possibility to use systems for digital home follow-up that have been developed by one trust. In this way we will get regional benefits from the work undertaken by each individual health trust. It will also be possible to set joint regional requirements for architecture and information security. The requirements for such systems will be in the tender documentation that will be published. Parallel framework agreements are planned with several tenderers, which will give the health trusts the possibility to procure systems under the framework agreement through simplified procurement processes/call-offs.
A joint regional API platform will be realised parallel to this. This will ensure that the systems that are developed, either by the process and task platform, or by the use of other suppliers, can obtain and hand over data to other systems that it is necessary to interact with.
The South Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority, c/o Sykehusinnkjøp HF, invites suppliers to a supplier conference on 18 February from 11-12, where the needs and plans for the coming contest for the framework agreement for tool suppliers within digital home follow-up will be presented in further detail. The conference will be digital. Register via Mercell.
