Overview

With the financial reset, NHS boards are under growing pressure to maximise productivity and improve outcomes. One area of increasing strategic focus is data - specifically how boards can gain assurance on it and support their organisations to enable data to meet their strategic goals. National leadership has highlighted that trusts will need to adhere to the Federated Data Platform (FDP) First Policy, meaning data has become a mission critical focus for trusts. 

What we'll cover

In this webinar, you'll hear from two NHS trusts, who are using data to solve complex problems and challenges:

  • Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust, the first trust in the UK to reach HIMMSS AMAM Level 6 for data analytics, will share how they built their data maturity and improved board level oversight. 
  • Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust will outline a pioneering project that integrated social housing data with health care records to better understand and respond to population health needs. 

We'll explore:

  • What good looks like when it comes to data maturity and the board's role in enabling safe, effective data sharing.
  • An introduction to the 'art of the possible' in population health management and new innovative ways data can be effectively used to support trusts particularly as we shift to preventative care. 
  • Key takeaways and pitfalls from real-world examples of using data to tackle the challenges trusts are facing. 

Key takeaways

  • Understand how your board can provide better oversight and assurance around data. 
  • How to effectively use you data to maximise opportunities within your trust. 
  • Understand best practice processes and techniques in data management. 
  • Connect and share learnings with peers from other trusts.
