The UK’s National Health Service (NHS) Confederation has partnered with health technology company Beamtree to introduce The Evolve Collaborative, which aims to enhance the use of operational data at NHS trusts in England.
The initiative is focused on offering acute care services, enhancing patient outcomes and increasing efficiency.
It combines Beamtree’s analytics platform with the NHS Confederation’s expertise in convening and improvement, with the aim to benchmark performance, understand variations and apply data-driven enhancements to processes.
NHS Confederation chief executive Matthew Taylor said: “The Evolve Collaborative seeks to empower clinicians, boards and operations leaders with the data they need.
“The collaborative will be a driven by our members and will encourage them to be curious about who else is doing things differently, and to ask ‘why’.
“By combining predictive analytics with peer learning, we’re giving NHS leaders the tools and support they need to drive real, measurable improvement.”
The Evolve Collaborative’s analytics platform uses AI and machine learning to predict future trends.
This will allow NHS trusts to identify challenges and assess the potential impact of different interventions.
The platform is supported by tailored dashboards and tools designed for various roles within the NHS.
A key component of the partnership is the formation of peer-to-peer learning communities, which are facilitated by experts in improvement.
These aim to provide a secure environment for members to exchange best practices and jointly develop solutions to common challenges.
Evolve Collaborative membership is currently available to NHS Trusts and Foundation Trusts providing acute services in England.
Beamtree chief executive Marek Stepniak said: “Our experience with Health Roundtable in Australia and New Zealand has delivered measurable improvements in healthcare delivery.
“These insights have already helped providers on the other side of the world achieve tangible outcomes and we look forward to bringing this proven model of learning and collaboration to the UK.”
