Delivering the primary care recovery plan against a backdrop of rising demand, workload complexity, workforce pressures and financial constraints is a significant challenge. Having the right data and intelligence available on workforce, activity, outcomes and population is key to meeting this challenge.
Arden & GEM’s collaborative intelligence platform, Athena, brings together data from across ICS partners to provide a single version of the truth. For primary care, our Athena Plus service has developed multiple tools to help commissioners and clinicians better understand variation in demand, capacity, access and performance at practice, PCN, place and system level.
Primary care reporting within Athena Plus includes:
- PCN dashboards for Directed Enhanced Services (DES) and the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) – understanding opportunities and identifying unwarranted variation
- GP access – quantifying current and predicted changes in demand, capacity, supply and workload across primary care
- Population outcomes – and how they are changing at a practice, PCN and place level
- Population health – including inequality, population segmentation and risk stratification, identifying actionable cohorts of patients who would benefit from intervention.
Athena Plus is increasing the use of collaborative data and intelligence within primary care to answer questions about a population and make better decisions about their care.

Supporting patients in BLMK to better manage their diabetes through an early warning system
Arden & GEM’s Advanced Analytics Unit has created a diabetes early warning system that not only provides near real-time population-level data and benchmarking but also identifies patients with unmet needs for proactive interventions.
Developing bespoke population health dashboards for NHS Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes ICB
When NHS Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes (BLMK) ICB needed population health comparator and benchmark information at a place, PCN and GP practice level, Arden & GEM’s business intelligence team set about developing a new suite of dashboards.
