Auckland DHB going to market for new PAS

Auckland DHB has published an Expression of Interest for replacement of its Patient Administration System.

Titled the Hospital Administration Replacement Project, it aims to replace the “dated, highly configured, partially bespoke PAS at Auckland DHB,” the EOI says.

“We need a PAS that is patient centric, that supports the patient journey regardless of the location where health services are delivered, that allows the free flow of patient data across numerous systems and fully involves the patient through the use of a patient portal.

“We also need a PAS that utilises modern, fit for purpose and resilient architecture, that has robust disaster recovery capabilities and holds our patient information securely.

“We are prepared to look at all credible service solutions and are seeking support from the market to understand current options and broad high level costs in delivering a modern, robust and resilient PAS.”

The EOI says the regional preference is for an “as a Service” solution, but all solution types will be considered.

The DHB is seeking funding for HARP from central government using the Better Business Case process.

“Whilst the proposal to replace the PAS has high levels of support, both regionally and in Wellington, funding is not guaranteed,” the document says.

The process will be multi-staged, commencing with an EOI and then moving to a closed Request for Proposal.

The deadline for EOI submissions is 21 January 2019.
