CHS - Acute Electronic Patient Record (EPR) Contract Extension

Overview

Croydon Health Services NHS Trust intends to extend its existing contract with Oracle Health for the provision of its acute Electronic Patient Record (EPR) system for a further three years, with an option to extend for an additional 12 months.<br/><br/>The extension will maintain continuity of the Trust’s existing clinical digital services, including the core EPR software, application management, hosting and associated support services. The existing system is integral to the Trust's clinical workflows and digital infrastructure, with significant technical dependencies and integration requirements.<br/><br/>The proposed arrangements include the removal of certain existing functionality and the introduction of additional integrated functionality, including Blood Transfusion Administration and Milk Management modules, to support the Trust's clinical and operational requirements. These modules require integration with the existing EPR environment, making technical compatibility, interoperability and continuity of clinical services key considerations.<br/><br/>The Trust is also progressing plans for a future competitive procurement of its EPR requirements, with the proposed extension providing continuity of existing services during this period.
