Subject: Patient Portal Supplier
Dear Highland NHS Board,
I am writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request the following information:
Does your trust have a 'Patient Portal / Patient Engagement Portal (PEP)’?
* Who is the current provider?
* What is the name of the current solution?
* What is the start and end date of the contract?
* Are you planning to procure a 'Patient Portal / Patient Engagement Platform (PEP)’
* If yes, when are you looking to go out to market and by what route?
A Patient Engagement Portal is a digital way for trusts to communicate with patients, allowing patients to do things such as:
* View/confirm/cancel/change appointments digitally
* View their appointment letters digitally
* Send patients SMS reminders of appointments
* Complete questionnaires digitally (such as pre/post operative assessments; PROMs/PREMs)
* View self help information relating to their care pathway
If you have any queries, please don’t hesitate to contact me and I will be very happy to clarify what I am asking for and discuss the request.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to your response.
Yours faithfully,
Wendy Naylor
