This form allows healthcare provider organisations who currently use eForms to report to the
NRLS, or have never reported to the NRLS, to express their interest in becoming a DPSIMS Beta
pilot site.
It asks questions on:
Your organisation/healthcare provision
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 use the term "organisation" but are also seeking expressions of interest from independent/sole-
worker providers of healthcare: we need providers of all types for this pilot phase, so there are no
wrong answers. There are, however, some requirements for participating providers, as laid out in
the accompanying Briefing Pack. Please read this carefully before submitting your response.
If you are from a provider who currently uses an LRMS to report to the NRLS, please do not
complete this survey, but the one designed for your group:
