This Request for Proposal (RFP) is an invitation to provide a solution which will enable the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) to receive medical certificate information electronically from health practitioners.
MSD currently receive over 843,000 medical certificates related to a variety of different benefits to process every year and out of these 440,000 are to verify clients work capacity through the Work Capacity Medical Certificate.
Currently the health practitioner has to either complete a medical certificate on their practice management system (PMS) which they have to print out for the client or they complete a hard copy form to give to the client; the client then takes the hard copy to their MSD office; the MSD staff member scans the certificate and attaches it to the client record so it can be processed.
This process is both time consuming and unnecessary for both clients and MSD staff. By receiving medical certificate information electronically we would be saving time and cost to clients by eliminating the need for them to call into a MSD site; and we would also be saving staff time by eliminating the need for them to scan and attach the medical certificate to the client’s record. There is also the potential to reduce time and effort for health practitioners as they will not need to print the medical certificate unless the client requests a copy.
The business objectives we are seeking from e-lodgement of medical certificates are:
• 1. the ability for medical certificates to be accessed by MSD staff electronically and securely from a health practitioner
• 2. to eliminate the need for clients to obtain a hard copy of their medical certificate and to bring them into a MSD site for scanning
• 3. to eliminate the need for staff to manually scan medical certificates.
