Orion Contract Support for NIECR

The procurement contact named on the official notice.

Since its inception in 2013, NIECR has become a critical system for Healthcare staff across Northern Ireland providing key, up-to-date patient information.

NIECR is a web based portal that sits on top of a large range of current HSC information and clinical systems to give Health and Social Care professionals a single consolidated view of a patient's key medical information.

NIECR is a critical front line system providing a clinical interface for over 30,000 active users.

The number of users continues to steadily increase from across all Secondary Care Trusts, Ambulance Service, Primary Care (including GP Out of Hours), community and the independent sector.

Many of the users are front line users who depend on NIECR to inform clinical decision making especially in emergency situations when essential medical background information would not be available and a patient could be at risk if for example a medication is prescribed without knowing the contraindications.
