Initial Supplier Questionnaire
Initial Supplier Questionnaire
The programme would like to better understand current ePrescribing systems that may be available for deployment within the NHS at this time and the functionality that they provide.
We are planning to run this process in two initial parts
– the first is the completion of this questionnaire to give a broad outline of system type/functionality available and
– second an invited, scripted demonstration of systems that have core functionality identified as being available at this time. This is planned for early-mid July and will involve demonstrations for front-line NHS staff at a venue specified by the programme.
It is intended that the results of this work be made available – subject to supplier agreement – to support the NHS in any future decision making.
You are invited to complete this questionnaire and return it to eprescribing@ by 6th June 2008.
If you have any questions about the content or the process please contact Ann Slee at ann.slee@
Many thanks for your help in undertaking this work.
