Discover the three steps to drive integrated care, faster
All manner of factors are at play, making the future of the NHS extremely uncertain. But what’s really at the heart of the situation is the profound need to do more with less.
At a macro level, this is a really tough challenge for the government and the NHS to resolve. Yet there are some simple ways you can take control of delivering more patient and more financial value today. Examples include more effective care pathways for certain medical conditions; finding new ways to extract more value from expensive resources, including technological investments; and delivering outcomes with more personalised value for individual patients.
Gaining the answers to these kinds of complex questions is something that can only be achieved using sophisticated decision-making tools, such as advanced analytics.
Getting the results you need starts with visualising how you want things to be in future. In essence, adopting an outcomes mindset.
Our new whitepaper Three steps to drive integrated care, faster: Start your transformation journey with the end in mind gives you some invaluable ideas about how you can derive more healthcare value from your data.
In brief these include:
1. Fully exploit your existing knowledge – the right insights are locked in your data, you just need to access them using new techniques
2. Change the way you think about decision-making – always underpin clinical experience with data-driven insights and collaboration
3. Get started with quick wins – grow your data-driven strategy in stages for maximum results. This will help to get your teams on board with a new decisioning process and create a positive cultural change
What next?
Involving your CIO will greatly help to bring data-driven decision-making to fruition. We recommend:
1. Considering Hadoop to bring together all your valuable sources of data – from emails, discharge and treatment notes to social media sentiment
2. Embracing cloud to deploy analytics quickly and cost-effectively
3. Deploying an analytics solution that integrates naturally with your data management system to get more accurate answers to your questions, faster
