Supporting the information revolution.

20 years experience

Ardentia’s HealthWare data warehouse is the result of 20 years experience in providing world class data warehousing and information reporting to the healthcare sector. The primary purpose of HealthWare is to consolidate data from disparate source systems to provide a central source of high quality, reliable data for organisation-wide reporting purposes.

Ardentia has an unrivalled understanding of what NHS organisations need from a data warehouse, and we have the track record to prove it.

Powerful data management

HealthWare comes complete with its own powerful Extract, Transformation and Load (ETL) and data management tool for loading data from multiple sources into a common data warehouse.

This tool provides you with a data validation, cleansing, data derivation, quality reporting and publishing facilities that enable you to control what data is made available for reporting within your organisation and also ensures the reliability and accuracy of the data.

Accurate, consistent, reliable data

The software enables you to define and customise rule–based update and validation routines that automatically run when a record or batch of records is loaded into your data warehouse. This helps you to ensure your data maintains the highest levels of accuracy and consistency.

In-built quality checks

All data validation and update routines – or quality checks – are carried out in a staging database. Data is only transferred to your production database after it has been through the quality cycle. The same quality routine is carried out whatever the source of the data, whether it is from single or combined data sources derived from within the data warehouse, OLAP cubes or through third party products such as a post coder.

Transformation mapping

The ‘point and click’ transformation mapping tool enables your data warehouse designers or advanced users to easily acquire new data sources and define the necessary mapping and formatting routines to load the data into your data warehouse. Ardentia’s data management tool also provides data quality reports and ‘store and forward’ facilities to help with gathering and transmitting data from your Operational and Batch systems into your data warehouse.

A RiO adaptor for mental health

Mental health trusts using the RiO patient administration system can now undertake more in-depth, enterprise-wide reporting with our specially designed RiO adaptor.

The adapter maps data from the CSE Servelec’s RiO PAS into Ardentia’s Healthware data warehouse, providing clinicians and managers with a unified business intelligence platform to undertake more comprehensive trust-wide analysis, as well as allowing them to prepare for the wider adoption of service line management and reporting in mental health trusts. With increasing pressure on mental health trusts to carry out more detailed financial reporting and operate on a firm business footing, it is vital that they have a system that gives them trust-wide access to data and facilitates in-depth reporting.

Ardenita has developed the RiO adapter to help mental health trusts meet these requirements, allowing them to make more informed management decisions to improve efficiency and enhance service user care.

With mental healthcare requiring the involvement of several different health professionals working in partnership to provide complex packages of care, the solution enables this data to be reviewed and analysed in a single repository. By combining records from sources such as the PAS and other clinical systems, with finance and workforce data, clinicians and managers can carry out more detailed analyses to meet NHS reporting requirements.
