Mental Health Information Solution

The Mental Health Information Solution from Ardentia

Mental Health Trusts are going through a period of unprecedented change.

Government initiatives have made the nation's mental health a major preoccupation in a way that it has not been for many years in the past.

Meanwhile, the management of Mental Health Trusts is undergoing major reform. Increasing numbers are becoming Foundation Trusts. Payment by Results is also getting closer, with the need to prepare for that reform by defining and applying clusters to mental health patient records.

All these trends conspire to make powerful management tools vital for Mental Health.

Your Trust already holds large quantities of information about inpatient and outpatient activity, referrals and community care contacts. The Ardentia application brings together all these different sources of information to support a single reporting and analysis system.

A Focused Mental Health Management Solution

Ardentia's Mental Health solution provides you with a highly-focused management tool that enables you to make decisions based on reliable information and not just intuition. That will make it an essential component of your work to improve the quality of care delivery.

A Comprehensive Activity Reporting Solution

Regardless of the source of your data it can be loaded into Ardentia’s data warehouse. That provides you with a single source of reports that give you a comprehensive view of the activity in your Mental Health Trust.

The data warehouse includes a wide range of functions to validate, update or derive data to ensure that it reaches the highest possible level of quality. That way you can be sure that you are managing your Trust on the basis of reliable information.

Standard reporting supplied with the Mental Health solution includes:

Inpatient Activity – Enables you to analyse the use of hospital facilities, including lengths of stay and rates of readmission. These indicators enable you to draw detailed conclusions about the effectiveness and quality of care being delivered. When combined with Ward Stay data (i.e. time spent by inpatients on particular wards) this analysis can be extended to monitor the use of facilities through bed occupancy rates.
Community Activity – Gives a view of how well services are being dispensed by nurses, therapists, dieticians, etc. In particular, you can monitor the workload of care teams as well as the individuals in those teams. You can also distinguish between face-to-face and non-face-to-face contacts, between joint contacts and single-staff contacts, and view the durations of contacts.
Review Records – Provides a regular snapshot of patients who have had or are awaiting review, enabling you to ensure that cases are being properly monitored and that none accidentally ‘slip under the radar’.

What's more each of the reports in Ardentia’s Mental Health solution have been developed in partnership with other Mental Health Trusts, ensuring it provides a solution to the real needs you face as a professionals on the ground.

Evidence-Based Management of Mental Healthcare

Taken together, this rich spread of reports spanning such varied data sources, gives you both the breadth and the detail that you need to manage mental healthcare across your trust.

By providing access to this data across the Web you can ensure that all your managers, at whatever level, are able to see the reports they need to do their job, whenever they need them. The fact that the data that is used as the basis of the reports is as current and up-to-date as it can be means that all managers are making decisions based on the most reliable possible information.
