Background

It has been identified that there are uplifts that can be applied to the Risk Stratification Capability to improve the content.

A new MAY Epic will be added to the Risk Stratification Capability, in relation to performing frailty Risk Stratification. GPs are required through the GP contract to routinely perform Risk Stratification to identify Patients living with frailty; the electronic Frailty Index is given as an example of a tool which can be used to perform frailty Risk Stratification, but other appropriate assessment tools are permitted. The Supporting Information in existing Epics in Risk Stratification will also be updated to reflect the electronic Frailty Index as an example tool.

The new MAY Epic will improve the quality of the Capability by expanding on the functionality which can be offered, allowing Suppliers to better demonstrate their Solution functionality and Buyers to make more informed choices.

Full Specification

Assurance Approach

Updated Epics

For Suppliers with Solutions already on the Buying Catalogue the results of previous Capability Assessments will be carried over for the Epics that have changed.

Solutions that are already compliant are not impacted by these changes.

New MAY Epics

MAY Epics describe additional functionality and these can be selected by Suppliers, but are not mandatory. If selected, Suppliers will be assessed against this Epic as per the Capability Assessment process and this will be a high level assessment based on the Acceptance Criteria defined.

If selected, Suppliers will be asked to demonstrate their mitigations against any pre-identified risks through completion of the NHS England Solution Assurance Capability Risk Log submission.
