This page documents the requirements for GPIT Solutions to support the COVID-19 vaccination campaign at Local/GP/PCN level.
The requirements are structured into 3 Capabilities which represent the business need at the highest level:
Cohort Identification
Appointments Management
Vaccination and Adverse Reaction Recording
To be assessed as meeting a Capability, the Supplier Solution would need to meet the MUST requirements for that Capability as a minimum. For MAY requirements, the Supplier can choose which they believe they need to meet based on their own User Research and the specific context they expect their Solutions to be used in. A Supplier Solution does not need to meet all 3 Capabilities, as it is possible for a mixture of Solutions to be integrated within a Local/GP/PCN setting in order to meet all Capabilities.
