II.2.4) Description of the procurement
The Harm Reduction Database in Wales provides an anonymous web-based mechanism for recording activity relating to the range of harm reduction services provided to those accessing substance misuse services. The unique client data collected includes demographic, health and social care service contact information as well as service level activity data. The HRD has been engineered to contain hierarchical levels of administrative securities ranging from central administrator and regional co-ordinators to site specific access. As such, the database has provided the platform for the production of local and national profiles of substance misuse and health in Wales.
Following successful implementation of the HRD, additional modules have since been developed to enable the recording of client information and substance misuse and related health service activity data for:
- The training and provision of Take-home Naloxone
- The provision, resupply and outcomes of Long Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC)
- Fatal and non-fatal drug poisonings in Wales
- Blood borne virus (Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV) screening and risk assessment, testing, results, referral to treatment and treatment outcomes
- Provision of self-care wound packs (ACT project)
