Financial support for developing a Personal Health Record
NHS England’s Innovation and Technology Payment (ITP) offers an Evidence Generation Fund (EGF) to support local PHR development.
How it works
The ITP programme runs an annual competition to provide support for the adoption of new innovations in the NHS.
The programme aims to overcome procurement and financial barriers to adoption, by providing central funding and support from AHSNs (Academic Health and Science Networks) on a case-by-case basis.
How funding is allocated
The funding is allocated through the seven NHS regions in England.
Each NHS England regional director of digital transformation will determine one or more Integrated Care Systems (ICS) or System Transformation Partnerships (STP) to receive funding.
The focus on PHRs
The Innovation and Technology Payment (ITP) Evidence Generation Fund is focused on personal health records (PHRs) for 2019-20.
The goal is to encourage the development of an evidence base to support the wider adoption of PHRs across the health and care system.
Approved ITP suppliers and products
ICSs and STPs will need to work with an approved supplier.
The following suppliers have been assessed and selected to be available from the fund:
- Accenda Ltd supplies REMORA.
