ABOUT THIS REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP)

In 2023, Murrumbidgee Local Health District (MLHD) and Murrumbidgee Primary Health Network (MPHN) began implementation of the Living Well, Your Way (LWYW) Initiative for people with chronic disease.

As part of the initiative, a remote patient monitoring program was codesigned with a commissioned provider. The program is called Digitally Supported Self-Management for Chronic Disease (the Program). The purpose of the Program is to enable patients with chronic disease to monitor a range of prognostic health metrics independently at home, increasing their capacity to self-manage their chronic disease symptoms.

OPPORTUNITY ON OFFER

Murrumbidgee Primary Health Network (MPHN) in conjunction with the LWYW Initiative are seeking proposals from suitably experienced providers to evaluate the Program

The purpose of the evaluation is to identify successes and challenges encountered during implementation of the Program, determine if the solution was suitable for both clinicians and patients in the region, and whether outcomes for clinicians and patients were achieved. There will be a focus on understanding the costs and benefits of implementing the Program in the region.

This is an open tender process.

An online industry briefing will be held Wednesday 28 June 2023, 2:00pm to 3:00pm (AEST).
