Bringing data and technology together in one single, accessible, ICS-wide platform is the starting point for intelligence-led health and care delivery. But using this data to improve decision-making and target interventions where they are needed most requires trusted, curated analytical content.
Arden & GEM has developed Athena, a strategic data and analytics platform which brings together data from disparate systems across multiple teams and organisations to provide a single version of the truth.
Athena Plus enhances provision of the Core platform by providing content from Arden & GEM’s analytics hub on key health and care topics, including performance and contracting, to support effective running of an ICS.
Key features of Athena Plus include:
- Regular publication of relevant, topical content from our analytics hub
- Access to expertise in data manipulation, data visualisation and storytelling through analytics
- Access to our community of practice across multiple organisations to learn and share content and ideas
- Responsive development of ‘big-ticket’ NHS reporting requirements e.g. elective recovery.
Athena Plus contains a growing catalogue of useful and topical analytical products across the entire remit of an ICS, for example:
- The impact of patients who attend A&E on a frequent basis
- The recovery of planned care services and the impact of the Elective Recovery Fund
- Highlighting the prevalence, risk factors and impact of diabetes
- Giving greater insight into cancer service delivery and the patient pathway.
Athena Plus increases the use of collaborative data and intelligence to answer questions about a population and make better decisions about their care.
