Future of Health with the Cloud – Leading Intelligent Care in Healthcare with TrustMarque
For a number of years, the UK healthcare system has faced pressure to balance two conflicting yet significant priorities: meeting the needs of an increasing and ageing population, and implementing austerity measures that continue to reduce spending and tackle deficits.
According to NHS Confederation, the NHS deals with over 1 million patients every 36 hours. This equates to the entire UK population (64.6 million in 2014) seen in less than 100 days. But how can health organisations continue to meet the growing needs of citizens on restricted budgets?
Advances in analytical technologies can help Healthcare organisations identify areas for improvement in a sustainable, affordable and achievable manner.
For example, Trustmarque (Part of Capita plc) is working with NHS Trusts and Boards around the country to deliver improved safety and efficiency through the use of predictive analytics and machine learning.
Trustmarque highlight a few ways their digital solution – which combines Microsoft’s Power BI and Cortana Intelligence suite can bring about real change.

NHS Trusts and Boards often find it difficult to transform insights into an effective change in staff behaviours and processes. This can make it difficult to invest in technology without strong evidence of tangible benefits.
At Trustmarque, we have created a programme of work designed to ensure that each and every analytical insight is systematically proven to implement safe process changes that deliver measured costs savings and safety benefits.
By doing it this way, budget holders can be sure of return on investment and significant savings can be used to fund further improvements. Thereby leading the way to maximise efficiencies across many areas within an NHS organisation.
Furthermore, the brilliance of the Cortana Intelligence Suite is that it is not just a one-time project but it is a constant. As new data is added then new predictions can be learnt and acted upon therefore continually reducing wastage in resources and costs.
With digital solutions such as this, healthcare organisations can:
- Reduce the number of ‘do not attends’ for appointments by allocating more appropriate times for certain demographics – i.e. a Wednesday afternoon instead of a Monday morning for an 18 year old male student.
- Reduce ambulance fuel consumption by identifying ‘hotspots’ and station vehicles closer to them, or creating best routes to take to A&E depending on the time of day.
- Reduce pressure on operating theatres by making the most of existing theatres taking into consideration things like non-clinical preparation times and standard operation times per surgeon.
