Build health data to deliver impact
Greater Manchester ICS establishes sustainable insight gathering
Leverage your data into insights
NHS organisations need to build an intelligence operation, with visibility across all operational, clinical processes and public health. Teams must have the capabilities to segment the population, stratify risk and build a person-level, longitudinal, linked dataset integrating local and national data sources alongside public and patient feedback. These insights are needed for key stakeholders to make informed decisions at both the operational and strategic levels.
AireBlocks in action
Greater Manchester, the first region in England to adopt an Integrated Care System (ICS), needed a secure, flexible way to capture data across its NHS and Care teams.
After considering custom development and generic form builders, the team chose Aire Forms, a modular solution that allows quick creation of bespoke electronic forms through simple drag-and-drop.
The platform meets NHS security and data requirements, works seamlessly with existing IT and EPR systems, and allows forms to be shared via secure links without logins. Automated reminders help boost completion rates, making it an ideal choice for a large, complex ICS.
Realise change, get results
Greater Manchester ICS uses the Aire Blocks data capture block, Aire Forms for ‘a million and one data capture use cases’, from situational reporting on maternity wards, to mortuary capacity across the Northwest. It’s currently developing a data capture approach for safeguarding and medicine optimisation.
Complex system? No problem.
Greater Manchester ICS has eleven NHS Trusts, ten Councils, and numerous voluntary sector organisations. Despite the presence of EPRs and other digital systems, AireBlocks allows you to integrate gather data.
- Accurate and real-time.
- Fit for purpose, meeting its exact needs.
- Doesn’t place extra administrative demands on staff - instead cuts it.
- Shared across hundreds of organisations.
- With appropriate interoperability, data-sharing and governance agreements.
- Is simple and accessible for the public, including hard to reach cohorts.
- Features data science algorithms and machine learning within the platform and also out to partnership organisations.
