The NHS in England is collecting proposals from tech suppliers to create a unified online health record, known as the Single Patient Record (SPR). This initiative, backed by the Department for Health and Social Care, aims to centralize patient information, making it accessible via the NHS App, thereby enhancing patient control over their health data. The program also intends to reduce redundancy in medical testing and information sharing across NHS services. The estimated costs for digitizing health services could reach £21 billion, with significant funding required specifically in England.
In October last year, the Department for Health and Social Care said the SPR would help create a 'more modern NHS.' It will put patients in control of their own medical history.
The request for information aims to gain innovative ideas from the market to ensure effective approach to the Single Patient Record (SPR) development.
