(ongoing run costs only; please exclude implementation if still in progress in any of the hospitals) 2. For each hospital, in a tabular format, please provide: a Name of the core EPR system used (e.g., EPIC, Cerner, SystemC, Nervecentre, Dedalus, other)? b. Annual cost in 2024 for the EPR system, broken down into: a Total cost b Software license c Maintenance d Professional services e Others 3. Scope of the contract (i.e., which additional clinical modules are included) 4. If available, spend broken down by for the core EPR system and each additional module separately 3. For the most recent EPR implementation (in each respective hospital), please provide the following information in a tabular format: a Tender date b Contract start and end date c Whether the contract is annually renewed d Planned final implementation date e Which provider the hospital used previously f Total budget and its components i) Total value of contract (£) ii) Contract term iii) Software license fees (upfront and ongoing) iv) Annual contracted pricing growth v) Implementation fees vi) Allowance for new features / development (if any) - e.g., committed budget for new software features / development which is not yet identified vii) Internal training / resources / etc. as relevant 7. Procurement framework used 8. Other systems integrated with the EPR 9. Department(s) that provided the funding - % of ERP budget comes from the ICB vs. Trust vs. others (please specify name) 10. Planned date to kick off next tender process - Whether there are plans to replace the system | |
