P934 Eye Care Electronic Referral Solutions for Optometrists

The objectives of this Prior Information Notice (PIN) are to assess the interest and capacity within the market to deliver an integrated software solution and to obtain indicative costs to inform the business case. An Electronic Referral System (ERS) and Electronic Patient Record (EPR) will enable NHS Wales to make the best use of clinical skills and services and enable patients to receive specialist care more quickly and closer to home. The scope of this PIN is for a cloud hosted digital referral solution to enable eye care referrals between Optometrists within primary care settings and for Optometry referrals to Hospital Eyecare Services (HES).
