Information on framework agreement

• II.1.5)
  Short description of the contract or purchase(s)

  NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde currently undertake 45 000 echocardiograms annually in multiple sites over a wide geographical area. Although there is direct access Echo Services for General Medical Practitioners, the vast majority of investigations occur within hospital settings (both in and out patients) (not all in cardiology). At each site the images are captured locally and stored locally compromising the ability to share data between sites.

  NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde therefore seek to procure a data management system that will facilitate the capturing, storing and sharing of images taken at any site, at all sites within the boards area.
