This form allows healthcare provider organisations who currently user a Local Risk Management
System (LRMS) to report to the NRLS to express their interest in becoming a DPSIMS Beta pilot
site.
It asks questions on:
Your organisation
Your technology and IT resourcing
This information will be used to select a diverse range of sites, best placed to help us understand
the breadth of challenges and variation the new system will need to support.
We need sites of all types for this pilot phase, so there are no wrong answers. There are, however,
some requirements for participating organisations, as laid out in the accompanying Briefing Pack.
Please read this carefully before submitting your response.
If you are from a provider who does not use a LRMS, please do not complete this survey, but the
one designed for your group: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/Q2J2XZB
