  • Tenders are open for suppliers to register to take part in the forthcoming the ACS & STP Development Partner Framework which will give commissioners and providers access to Population Health Management support. 
  • This includes tools to identify patients who are at high risk of an adverse event and are likely to be amendable to a particular intervention, patient records that give clinicians across all care settings a full picture of their patient’s health and well-being; support to monitor wider system programmes; and enhanced tools to integrate clinical workflow with patient activation data to ensure patients are being treated in the right place at the right time.
  • The ACS and STP Development Partner Framework will be structured around three areas:
    • Infrastructure: encompassing EPR and place-based digitalisation; Local Integrated Care Records and Health Information Exchange; primary care IT support and transformation; and data management and information governance;
    • Insight: population health analytics and digital tools for system modelling, planning, risk stratification and impactability, care coordination and care management.
    • Impact and Intervention: transformation and change; primary care transformation; self-care, patient empowerment and activation; and system optimisation.
  • Tender documents available on the NHS England e-tendering site here.
