2.1 Procedure

Title : National Electronic Prescription Service for the HSE
Description : The Health Service Executive, as the Contracting Authority, seeks to procure a suitably qualified Economic Operator to provide a National Electronic Prescribing Service (NEPS) by means of the Competitive Dialogue procedure. The National Electronic Prescription Service will be a secure, efficient, and fully integrated digital service for the transmission and storage of electronic prescriptions and electronic dispensations generated for patients in ambulatory care in both public and private settings across Ireland’s healthcare system. It will function as a fully interoperable, standards based central repository, integrated with third-party prescribing and dispensing systems in addition to other supporting services. It will manage the entire lifecycle of electronic prescriptions and electronic dispensations in ambulatory care, allow the curation and maintenance of a Medication List and offer related functionality. It will enable accurate, timely access to medication information, which will enhance clinical decision-making, reduce medication errors, streamline clinical workflows, empower patients and improve overall patient care. The HSE is including the option of a Prescribing Portal in this tender process. The purpose of including the option of the Prescribing Portal is to allow those prescribers that do not have a system to generate prescriptions electronically for patients in ambulatory care. The scope of the requirement includes the provision of software, configuration, installation, integration, implementation, training, support, hosting and maintenance services.
