This is a contract result notice, not an open opportunity. Details from the official award data.

The LG patient record comprises of the LG envelope and the contents, which is an important part of the patient's historical medical record.

Each Lloyd George envelope has a broad range of detailed personal information stored inside and maintaining the security accuracy, availability and integrity of these legacy records is vital.

The handling of these records needs particular care; the paper records can be up to 70 years old and some records are fragile and in a poor state, coupled with the fact the information they hold is vital and paramount for safe medical practice.

The lack of continuity and resilience within the paper record poses a risk to the ongoing, continuity of person-centred care..

There is a legal requirement to keep the full patients record for a minimum of 10 years after the death of a patient.

There are four primary reasons for digitisation of Lloyd George records: • safer care for patients • release of space within practices to provide additional consultation areas • access to the full patient record at the point of care • GP Contract commitments to digitise all Lloyd George patient records by March 2022.
