Simpl and Courtyard Partnership Delivers Knowledge from Management and Clinical Data to Support Healthcare Organisations’ Decision-Making
A new partnership between healthcare IT advisor and integrator Simpl and international health consultancy, Courtyard Group, enables healthcare organisations to more effectively collate and analyse management and clinical data, and transform it into valuable, useable information. This information can then be understood, trusted and acted upon by healthcare staff to improve patient journeys.
As healthcare organisations attempt to deliver more effective patient pathways and services, access to clinical and management data becomes an increasingly important tool. This is particularly important for commissioners, where data can be used to identify pathway bottlenecks which obstruct the patient flow, such as a lack of resources, e.g. physiotherapy or radiology functions as well as identifying other areas for focus and prioritisation.
Through the partnership, Courtyard Group will deliver its range of consultancy services to healthcare organisations, helping to identify the improvements which can be made to processes and workflows to deliver patient-centric care
Simpl can underpin Courtyard Group’s recommendations to customers with advisory and integration services for healthcare IT tools and solutions such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and business intelligence.
“Our partnership will be particularly relevant to commissioners within Primary Care Trusts who rely on accurate information to make informed, proactive decisions about resources - finance, staff and other assets - required to support communities and deliver effective, progressive patient journeys in line with the national QiPP and QPC agendas,” says Paul Malcolm, EMEA Regional Director, Simpl. “Equally, our partnership will support management at Acute Trusts which require similar knowledge to help them decide where best value can be found when providing services.
