Regional eHealth Project Request for Solution

⁠⁠⁠Queensland Health is seeking to create an innovative partnership with a vendor, to collaboratively deliver an eHealth solution to support integrated healthcare delivery in primary, community and hospital-based settings across Far North Queensland.

The scope of this transformational initiative will be to undertake an Implementation Planning Study (IPS) to scope, design and develop an eHealth solution. At a high level, tangible outcomes of this project and successful solution delivery will result in healthcare facilities operating with:
* An integrated, fit-for-purpose and reliable point-of-care solution
* Shared, accessible and comprehensive patient health information
* Scheduled and coordinated healthcare service delivery
* Enhanced Telehealth utilisation and services
* Extensive and accurate Business Intelligence capabilities.

The Regional eHealth Project will adhere to Queensland Health’s Co-Design Procurement Methodology to drive collaboration between Queensland Health and the selected vendor. The preferred vendor will be passionate about delivering a solution that is fit-for-purpose for rural and remote healthcare settings and ultimately improves the health and wellbeing of people throughout Far North Queensland.

As an outcome of a successful IPS and acceptable final bid, the vendor may be invited to implement the designed solution under an implementation contract.

The Regional eHealth Project is a joint eHealth initiative between the Cairns and Hinterland Hospital and Health Service and the Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service.
