Provision of Digital Services for Community Supported Self-Management

Tender description

The Digital Health & Care Innovation Centre (DHI) runs simulation exercises to support discovery for the future of health and care services – these are exercises that develop and / or integrate real products and systems but use fake (simulated) data to help demonstrate how novel service models can be achieved in practice. The ultimate outcomes of these projects are that stakeholders are stimulated, informed, and mobilised to transform services, rather than to try and build the ultimate technical solution. The Provision of Digital Services for Community Supported Self-Management is part of the Care in Place project. The Care in Place project will involve a multistage, multi-partner shared care record and service design exercise, predicated on the co-management of data between citizens and professionals, integrating a myriad of processes and system via a common Personal Data Store. Lot 1: The Digital Health & Care Innovation Centre (DHI) runs simulation exercises to support discovery for the future of health and care services – these are exercises that develop and / or integrate real products and systems but use fake (simulated) data to help demonstrate how novel service models can be achieved in practice. The ultimate outcomes of these projects are that stakeholders are stimulated, informed, and mobilised to transform services, rather than to try and build the ultimate technical solution. DHI also runs ‘Living Lab’ activities, where it takes concepts, designs, and technologies forward iteratively in live environments to continue the ‘learning by doing’ model. These labs start to build evidence around the value and impact of redesigned or new service models as well as the technologies and business models that support them. The Provision of Digital Services for Community Supported Self-Management is part of the Care in Place project. The Care in Place project will involve a multistage, multi-partner shared care record and service design exercise, predicated on the co-management of data between citizens and professionals, integrating a myriad of processes and system via a common Personal Data Store. The full scope of this project can be found in Appendix E Specification of Requirements. In summary this relates to a) the early wellbeing and self-management conversations and tools for both the supported person and their carer, and b) the capacity building and integration of third sector organisations in this early-stage activity. DHI seeks to award a contract to support iterative service design, software development and system integration through simulation and Living Lab stages, with the possibility of further scale up activity thereafter.
