Support levels
Health Diagnostics offer a single and full level of support to the following service levels.
Health Diagnostics will respond to service-related incidents and notify the Patient/Service User of the level of classification. A helpdesk ticket number will be submitted to the Client with the service level classification as follows:
• 0 - 8 consecutive working hours for issues classified as High priority.
• Within 32 consecutive working hours for issues classified as Medium priority.
• Within 96 consecutive working hours for issues classified as Low priority.
Remote assistance will be provided in-line with the above timescales dependent on the priority of the support request and if allowed by the Practice/Provider system. There is no difference in cost between the support levels Health Diagnostics provide. If part of the contract, as is standard on larger projects (e.g. NHS Health Check projects) dedicated account managers are assigned.

Onboarding and offboarding

Getting started
We conduct initial discovery meetings with commissioners in order to ensure that the solution they procure and its configuration meets their needs. The resulting solutions are trialled with a determined beta site before deployment across a project area.
From the perspective of on-boarding individual users, we provide live remote training sessions from 1 to 10 people. These sessions are conducted via Teams and are tailored to the projects purchases.
All trainees have access to an extensive online training library with videos, pdf documents and quick guides covering all the topics.
Full support is offered via telephone following the training.
All documents are updated regularly.

User support accessibility
WCAG 2.2 A
Description of service interface
Targeted Invites’ (TI) web-based interface is contained within one intuitive and easily navigable page. Access is granted via Microsoft Single Sign-on (which supports NHS Mail). Once logged in, users select the type of invite being sent (e.g. SMS/postal etc.). Filters can be applied to enable users to target certain groups (e.g. those at risk of CVD). Sortable lists of people for invite are generated and displayed within tables. Users then send automated invites with the click of a button. TI can be operated centrally by selecting the practice being sent on behalf of. A range of admin features are accessible.
Accessibility standards
WCAG 2.2 A
Accessibility testing
TI has been subject to extensive testing. This includes testing with assistive technologies. Having been assessed for clinical risk, TI is DCB0129 approved. This ensures that the development and testing procedures deployed are robust, systematic, and risk-averse. The testing framework utilised to achieve this standard incorporates the following components relating to accessibility and resilience in terms of diverse usage:
• Running focus groups with users to establish their usage habits, log improvements and present iterative enhancements.
• Employing ‘easy-read’ letter templates developed and deployed in collaboration with the Welsh Health Board.
• Using the NHS Service Design Manual to guide the research & development process, thereby embedding industry standards from the beginning of the development life-cycle.
• Confirming the effective compatibility of assistive technologies such as screen readers, keyboard navigation, and screen tinting.
• Ensuring that potential users with impaired vision can enlarge the screen to an acceptable degree and navigate it in an operative manner.
• Providing training materials with synchronised captions, audio-descriptions, and which are structured in a manner to ensure digestibility. Feedback on accessibility and experience of training is captured as a matter of course.
API
No
Customisation available
Yes
Description of customisation
The following elements can be customised in Targeted Invites (TI). Unless indicated, customisation is predominantly carried out with the commissioner of the service during the solution configuration phase of deployment:
• Letters and SMSs can be customised according to local content (and can include accessible ‘easy-read’ content).
• Work-flows can be created to enable invites to be sent at the locally-determined frequencies.
• Enable locally determined pre-set filters for targeting groups that represent local public health priorities
• Configuration can be completed to allow invites to be sent from a central location on behalf of participating practices. Central administrators can then, on an on-going basis, select the sites they wish to distribute on behalf of.
• Users can be enabled and disabled by site administrators (actionable on-going).

Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
Front end application servers are hosted on Azure Application servers with a guaranteed uptime SLA of 99.9%. The service auto scales on demand, if service usage dictates. Database servers are operated in a mirrored availability group to ensure 100% failover if any of the database servers become unavailable.
Approach to resilience
Front end application servers are hosted on Azure Application servers, which are protected by the defence layers provided by Azure, guaranteed by their SLA. Our backend systems are protected by different layers of defence, both physical and virtual to ensure the system is resilient and stays available for the users.
Outage reporting
The service front end sits behind an Azure application service gateway which provides the ability to provide custom error reporting if there is a service outage. Similarly there is a Power BI dashboard that monitors service health for registered users.
Registered users are informed in advance by email if there are scheduled maintenance tasks that could affect service, as well as advance notice alerts built into the application front ends
