West Essex System - Patient Flow Tracker IT Solution Market Engagement

West Essex Clinical Commissioning Group (WECCG) and its system partners across West Essex is an Integrated Care Partnership (ICP) - referred to as the 'West Essex system' - have been working with BearingPoint (Prederi) to develop a business case for a transfer of care patient tracking IT solution, including system-wide health & care capacity and patient flow.

The business case was approved in October 2019 by the Local Delivery Board and it was agreed to procure a comprehensive IT solution to meet their system-wide patient flow and capacity management needs.

The IT solution needs to enable the effective and efficient transfer of care patient tracking and articulate system capacity and blockages to help deliver the best patient care.

It is also expected to provide a clear system-wide understanding of the following core areas: - System-wide capacity and pressure points (acute and intermediate care pathways) - Patient flow and transfers of care (bedded and non-bedded) - End to end system-wide patient journey tracking - System-wide escalation and reporting - Predicting capacity to inform decision-making and commissioning (analytics) The purpose of this phase of work is to undertake market research and market engagement, interested providers are invited to demonstrate their IT solutions to support the system to understand the availability and capabilities of IT solutions in the market.

This will support the West Essex system to visualise how these can be applied and support the system to inform its specification requirements ahead of any formal procurement process.
