Details: The Potsdam-Mittelmark district intends to implement an e-learning platform for the area of information security and data protection. This contract is to be awarded by way of a negotiated award without a prior competition. An e-learning platform for the subject area of information security and data protection is to be made available, the training content of which is to be regularly supplemented and updated. In addition to training our employees, the focus is also on raising their awareness. Current security measures, vulnerabilities and attack patterns, including phishing and social engineering, are to be taught in a learning environment prepared according to learning psychology aspects. Phishing campaigns are also to be sent out by email on a regular basis. Optionally, the platform should be expanded to include the subject areas of occupational safety, equal opportunities and anti-corruption. As part of the application management of the e-learning platform, it should be possible to activate different modules simultaneously and at different times. The activation of individual modules should be possible in the classification according to the corresponding fields of activity. Heterogeneous learning formats should guarantee that different learning types are addressed and that individual knowledge transfer takes place. A corresponding platform should therefore enable the following learning forms: gamification, videos, reading texts, voice notes (audios) and multiple-choice questions. The system should be compatible with AD connections and mobile use. The system must be able to transfer and update/synchronize the required data from the district administration's directory service via a secure interface in accordance with the state of the art. The system must also offer the option of implementing your own training units. The e-learning platform should either be operated "on premise" in the district administration's data center or as a cloud solution by the provider or a hosting service provider, whereby in the latter case the servers must be hosted within the European Union or the European Economic Area. In addition, it should be guaranteed that with a cloud solution there is a very high level of system availability (at least 99%) on the part of the provider. In addition, the provider should take technical and organizational measures appropriate to the risk to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the processed data.

Proposed Contractor Parachute 300-150 Eglinton Ave E. Toronto Ontario M4p 1e8 4. Definition Of Requirements Or Expected Results Unintentional Poisonings Are A Leading Cause Of Preventable Injury And Death In Canada, Particularly Among Children And Other Vulnerable Populations. Canada’s Five Regional Poison Centres Serve As Vital Resources For Both The Public And Medical Professionals Seeking Guidance On The Treatment Of Poisoning And Adverse Drug Reactions. Together, These Centres Manage Approximately 200,000 Cases Annually, Providing Valuable, Evidence–based Information On Exposures To A Wide Variety Of Products And Substances Regulated By Health Canada. Canada Did Not Have A National Poison Centre Surveillance System Until The Need Was Identified In 2013 And 2014 By Various Authorities. In Response, A Pan-canadian Task Force Was Established, Bringing Together The Canadian Association Of Poison Centres And Clinical Toxicology (capcct), Poison Centres, And Provincial, Territorial, And Federal Health Authorities, Along With Other Key Partners, To Collaborate On The Development Of The Canadian Surveillance System For Poison Information (csspi). In 2016, A Business Case Was Completed Outlining A Multi-year Implementation Plan For The Csspi Program, Including The Technical Development Of An Automated Surveillance Application On The Canadian Network For Public Health Intelligence (cnphi). Alongside The Csspi’s Implementation And Technical Development, Health Canada And Its Partners Have Been Nurturing And Expanding The Toxicovigilance Canada Network, While Also Conducting Public Outreach And Communication Activities With The Support Of Partners Such As Parachute, Canada’s Leading Injury Prevention Organization. Toxicovigilance Canada, Led By Health Canada, Is A Collaborative Network Of Various Disciplines And Jurisdictions That Strengthens The Capacity For The Timely Detection, Analysis, And Response To Poisonings, Substance-related Harms, And Toxic Chemical Exposures. With The Anticipated Rollout Of The Csspi Application On Cnphi In 2025-2026, The Program Will Achieve A Key Milestone: The Ability To Conduct Near Real-time Surveillance And Generate National Statistics On Poisonings. The Csspi Program Will Provide Critical Evidence To Support Core Departmental Responsibilities, Pan-canadian Toxicovigilance Initiatives, And Public Health Efforts Aimed At Poison Prevention, Through Knowledge Translation And Outreach Activities. The Objective Of This Contract Is To Support Public Outreach And Knowledge Translation To Enhance The Impact Of The Csspi Program And Strengthen The Toxicovigilance Canada Network. Over The Next Five Years, Health Canada Requires The Services Of A Contractor To Coordinate Pan-canadian Outreach And Communication Activities, Build Professional Capacity And Facilitate Knowledge Exchange Across A Broad Network In Canada, Support And Coordinate Csspi Face-to-face Meetings And Toxicovigilance Workshops With Key Stakeholders, And Lead The Publication Of The Pan-canadian Annual Data Reports.
