Reference: Data Standards
Award of a supplier to define and deliver a user-led approach to developing Minimum Operating Data Standards (MODS) for social care in Wales. This will involve deep engagement with stakeholders, identification and prioritisation of use cases, and development of a structured Data Catalogue to inform the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource (FHIR) framework. This contract will be split across the following phases: Phase 1: Engagement and Discovery Phase 2: Further Development and Implementation Note: Social Care Wales will commission FHIR expertise through a separate contract. While both the successful supplier of this tender and the FHIR experts will have distinct areas of responsibility, they will be expected to work in close collaboration to ensure alignment between the development of the MODS and its mapping to the HL7 FHIR framework. This joint approach will ensure that technical compatibility is built in from the outset and that both strands of work progress in a coordinated, efficient manner.
