Opportunity overview

GP Practices in Northern Ireland have a document management requirement to process inbound documents from Hospitals relating to a patient sent mostly by Electronic Document Transfer (EDT) but also include paper documents to be scanned. It is essential for every GP Practice to have an easy to use electronic Document Management solution to enable them to quickly capture, file, workflow, view and process hospital letters efficiently.

Why this procedure was chosen
The Docman7 document management system is owned by Advanced but they no longer provide first line support for Docman7 as they only offer their Docman10 product. Docman7 will be withdrawn from the market by Advanced on 30th June 2027. It is not currently possible to procure Docman10 because it is not listed as a product on any frameworks available to HSCNI.
