Integrated Information
For the past decade, there has been a steady move towards
Trusts and PCTs delivering information to their organisations
through strategic management reporting solutions. Now new ways
to deliver information are emerging: national systems such as
SUS and QMAS, LSPs potentially delivering data warehouse
solutions; and locally organisations can procure or implement
systems based on industry-leading products such as Microsoft
Reporting Services, Business Objects and Cognos ReportNet.
With these new developments, come new challenges.
- How should organisations respond to the
uncertainty in the time scales and scope of LSP data
warehouse solutions?
- How will non-migrated data be made
available for reporting, audit and operational purposes?
- Where does SUS (and for PCTs, QMAS) fit
into Trusts’ overall management reporting strategies?
- And will Trusts be able to rely on SUS,
QMAS and the LSP solution entirely, or will there still be a
need for locally deployed elements?
Portico Consulting brings unrivalled experience and expertise
to help Trusts address these issues. Our knowledge and
experience reaches back to case-mix/contract management systems
implementations of the ’90s (the first data warehouses). Between
then and now we have undertaken a wide range of strategic
studies examining management reporting options for Trusts, most
recently specifically in the LSP/SUS/QMAS context; and our work
is underpinned by hands-on experience of implementing
state-of-the-art reporting solutions based on data warehousing
techniques.
