Electronic Document Management / Medical Records Storages Option Appraisal

We would look to procure the services of an external resource to develop an EDM and/or Medical Records service/storage business case that covers the immediate need around the QEH medical records function, but also covers the way that the implementation of an EDM will change the paper Medical Records storage needs of the Trust once an EDM solution is in place. An EDM business case was previously commissioned in 2018 (see attachment) for a complete EDM solution but did not proceed through Trust approval. This original case should be used as a foundation to re-evaluate and consider all EDM options - revising the case to demonstrate all the best options available for the Trusts current and future needs. The revised case should be presented using the Standard Plus Business Case Template (see attachment). The Trust is open to further discussions around whether a single case for the reprovision of QEH Medical Records function in an alternative location AND the purchase of and EDM and association scanning services forms a single case OR of two smaller, but linked cases are developed and taken through Trust governance as separate processes
