This innovative data-driven solution has revolutionised healthcare outcomes by providing timely, reliable, and actionable insights that enhance patient care and operational efficiency.
Challenge
Healthcare success is directly tied to an organised and data-driven system. Ensuring high-quality patient outcomes and experiences relies on having timely access to accurate, reliable, and actionable data. The healthcare provider needed a solution that could monitor, assess, and benchmark clinical, procedural, and patient outcomes—including medical device performance—across its hospital network.
However, the existing systems lacked real-time data collection and robust insights, making it difficult to track trends in treatment success, device performance, and patient outcomes. The challenge was to create a system that not only streamlined data management but also provided real-time access to insights, facilitating confident decision-making and continuous improvement in patient care.
Solution
Playtime Solutions was brought on board to design and implement a secure, scalable, and fault-tolerant web-based data import and benchmarking platform. This bespoke digital solution enabled the organisation to streamline its data management processes and enhance clinical insights.
Key features of the solution include:
- Bespoke web application for real-time records management, data collection, and intelligent benchmarking.
- Intelligent data import with automatic cleansing, which improves operational efficiency by reducing manual errors.
- Customisable dashboards and interactive reports, empowering users to monitor clinical trends and patient outcomes with ease.
- Data integration and management, allowing the seamless collection and benchmarking of clinical, procedural, and patient-reported outcomes.
- Built on a secure and scalable platform using Microsoft Azure and Power BI for real-time analytics and robust reporting.
The platform not only delivered data analytics but also ensured high availability and fault tolerance, making it a reliable tool for healthcare professionals.
Outcome
