Sussex Health Informatics Service chooses Board performance
reporting system
3 February 2010
Sussex Health Informatics Service (HIS) and partner
organisations have chosen the Board corporate performance reporting
system to deliver improved reporting and key performance indicators
(KPI).
The Board system will allow end users to have greater visibility of
their data, combine various previously difficult-to-align data sources,
automate a currently time consuming and manual reporting process and
facilitate users with the flexibility to view critical KPI’s in a way
that makes most sense to each individual and team.
The new system is expected to bring greater accuracy to the reports,
deliver information much more quickly and allow users to become far more
proactive. Data silos will be eliminated and distribution of reports
will be streamlined. Users will see almost immediate benefits in terms
of time saving and further KPI’s, risk analysis, planning and
forecasting will be able to be introduced.
Colin Styles, of Sussex HIS said: “Board will allow users the freedom to
access data and report on it, in a way that best suits them, yet provide
them with a standardized format, within set guidelines and security.”
By loading data at the lowest level of detail users will be able to
drill down to event level, across several data sources including patient
activity and workforce information, allowing users to have a much more
complete view of activity at an enterprise level.
The programming-free approach of the Board toolkit will enable Sussex
HIS to deliver improvements in less than 15 days. In addition, users are
able to create their own reports and dashboards, without the need to
place pressure on IT departments, promoting self service BI (business
intelligence) and PM (performance management) within the Sussex HIS
environs.
Users can access source data and value-added information created
locally, including healthcare analysis data which includes population
profiling and predictive analytics (risk prediction).
Styles continues “Our adoption of Board as an element of our DW/BI
strategy provides us with an innovative solution that allows users to
report, analyse, budget, plan, forecast and produce KPIs and Balance
Scorecards, in one single product. The possibility for using Board
across multiple NHS departments is endless, the more we use the toolkit,
the more opportunity for improvements we discover.”
Other organisations in Sussex have also expressed an interest in
using Board and are considering it for support reporting on emerging
work areas including World Class Commissioning and supporting the
'Enhancing Quality' initiative.
Dominic Policella, Managing Director of Board UK added, “ We are
delighted to be working with Sussex Health Informatics Services and look
forward to helping them bring added value to their business units.
BOARD is a single, programming-free product for reporting, dashboards,
KPIs, planning, budgeting and forecasting. It is easy to use and
speedy to implement and allows users to really understand their data”.
