Target to market

The coalition government has swept away some of the traditional drivers of investment in business intelligence. But its latest round of NHS reform and reconfiguration is throwing up plenty of new ones, Daloni Carlisle discovers.

Stalis in Business Intelligence

For more than 25 years, Stalis has been successfully delivering high quality management and operational reporting from disparate healthcare systems throughout the NHS. Stalis is uniquely placed to offer an end-to end service and does not rely on trusts or their existing suppliers to provide expertise in the data mapping or extraction process. Stalis' experience in the vast majority of healthcare systems in the UK enables Business Intelligence reporting projects to move forward quickly and reliably.

If you have concerns about producing reliable and accurate information for pathways, commissioning, discharge summaries or any other healthcare reporting requirement, Stalis is able to:

• Extract and assess the quality of data from any healthcare related system
• Identify poor quality and duplicated information and make it available for correction within the trust's original source systems
• Integrate healthcare data from all available sources to create a patient centric repository from which information can be accessed for timely and accurate reporting
• Provide intuitive web based access for dashboards and reporting to enable deployment to be facilitated across all trust business users.

Turn disparate data into meaningful intelligence

Amalga UIS frees the data locked in disparate systems across the health enterprise to fuel discovery, change and innovation, empowering front line users to gain deeper insight themselves without dependence on analysts or IT staff.

Amalga allows organisations to address many key healthcare data challenges from a single solution, instead of requiring multiple technologies and niche solutions to address different needs.

To drive excellence, organisations need to be able to freely explore and optimise the use of their data to respond to change, ask questions that arise from change, and reduce cycle time in process improvement.

By leveraging standards where available, but by not being limited by them, Amalga provides a truly integrated and holistic view of data to get the intelligence needed to make a positive impact now.
