As every proud Mancunian will no doubt tell you, since the beginnings of the Industrial revolution, Manchester’s innovative spirit has seen it at the vanguard of free trade, leading the political and economic reform of the 19th century, and founding the first passenger railway and first public library.

More recently, NHS Manchester’s commitment to improving healthcare delivery and patient outcomes has resulted in the deployment of an advanced business intelligence solution to help ensure world-class care for its patients, as reported in E Health Insider.

Our Data Warehouse and Patient Level Costing solutions are being deployed across its commissioning and provisioning functions to reduce risk to clinical and PCT data and enable healthcare managers to make quick and informed decisions, and ensure timely patient progress and access to care.

Paul McQuaid, project manager at NHS Manchester said: “The combination of these solutions will be crucial to the development of the organisation. They will allow our staff to drill down to obtain valuable patient data, rather than spending time processing documents.

“With a population of 500,000 and approximately 1000 GP referrals each week, we need the right tools to help deal effectively with business issues and meet our goals – Ardentia solutions make this possible for us.”
