IT partner required for North Queensland Community Pharmacy Scope of Practice Pilot

The Pharmacy Guild of Australia Queensland Branch is inviting vendors to bid for the development of the clinical information system through the request for proposal (RFP) for the North Queensland Community Pharmacy Scope of Practice Pilot (Pilot). 

The Pilot aims to increase access to high-quality, integrated, and cost-effective primary healthcare services for North Queensland communities with occasions of service due to commence at the end of 2023.

To support the Pilot and ongoing scope of practice initiatives for pharmacists, an information technology outsourcing partner is required to develop a clinical information system with prescribing capabilities that supports service processes within the Pilot. 

In addition, the clinical information system must provide clinical and outcome data to inform project evaluation of the Pilot. 

This RFP is for the North Queensland Community Pharmacy Scope of Practice Pilot. However, with other state and territories commencing on the full scope of practice journey, there is potential for expansion of work towards a national approach for the successful IT partner. 

Interested vendors are encouraged to view the RFP documentation online and email fullscope@qldguild.org.au to obtain the RFP response documents. 

Responses are due to the Project Manager by Monday 1 May 2023.
