12th July 2011 - Ascribe is pleased to announce the ‘Go Live’ of an enterprise Business Intelligence (BI) solution launched under the banner of Octopus at University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (UCLH). The Octopus system is a full range of management information dashboards underpinning the delivery of excellent clinical care.
Octopus provides the Trust’s senior decision makers with the ability to examine key demand trends and performance indicators in depth from their desktops. The solution spans across the Trust’s A&E, referral, waitlists, outpatient, inpatient, and diagnostic activity; at the same time it provides in-depth revenue & activity positions against plan, ready for the Hospital’s managers every Monday morning.
The release is a key one for the Trust in that it ensures it is equipped to make better decisions that define the way the organisation delivers its healthcare objectives. It is also a significant milestone for Ascribe as we look to expand the BI capability in all our Acute-facing products as the solution we have developed can be easily adapted to meet other requirements on other projects.
Speaking on behalf of the Trust, Simon Mortimore, Head of Information Services at UCLH said, “Octopus is enabling this Trust to draw valuable intelligence from the mass of raw data which we collect each day, around 200 feeds. The data warehouse has been constructed so that no information is lost or wasted. We can now draw out performance, demand, and revenue information and support the allocation of resources far more efficiently and ensure that we continue to deliver excellent patient care. In addition we can develop and deploy BI solutions much faster.”
“Ascribe is delighted to deliver the Octopus system to UCLH. Working together with UCLH, we have a created a system that draws upon multiple data sources and produces a coherent and clear insight into their patient, clinical and management needs. We are also seeing an increase in BI orders from the Health Sector for our Business Intelligence solutions”, said Stephen Critchlow, CEO of Ascribe Ltd.
