Ardens Manager - National
The Ardens Manager National Content package provides interactive dashboards that display data in graphical and tabular formats, with drilldown and filtering options. The package aims to help organisations improve patient care, maximise income, reduce workload, and meet contractual obligations.
This includes:
QOF* - Practices can prioritise and monitor QOF activity in both patient points and financial values. Indicator calculations factor in each practice's capitation and disease prevalence to generate predicted indicative payment figures. QOF case finders allows the identification of potential missing cases and corresponding missed income.
Network Contract DES* – Functionality to monitor activity for all areas of the Network Contract DES (NCD) including IIF at GP Practice, PCN, Place and ICB levels. PCNs can also keep track of any additional service requirements with evidence submission checklists and self-declarations.
SMI Health Checks - The SMI Health Checks contract dashboard allows organisations to monitor and benchmark quarterly SMI activity covering physical health checks, interventions and screening.
NHS Health Checks – Functionality to enable organisations to monitor NHS Health Check activity including health checks done (by age, ethnicity and gender), interventions and LTC performance.
Service Management – Dashboards present data on services provided and with the addition of report breakdown, trends can be identified and interventions conducted to help manage population health.
Governance - A suite of reports is available to be used when carrying out CQC inspections of GP practices. The reports can also be used by practices to identify patients who are potentially at risk from not having care delivered in line with national guidance.
* Please be advised that the figures presented are indicative and may not correspond to the actual payments from NHSE to the Organisation. Should any discrepancies arise, it is the responsibility of the Organisation to follow the dispute resolution process with NHSE. Ardens does not accept any liability for any errors, or any financial loss incurred by a client, whether real or perceived.
Ardens Manager - Local
The Ardens Manager Local Content package simplifies the process of local contract management by enabling Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) to design, manage, and monitor local content for primary care in England.
Draft & Review: Functionality to collaborate on draft contract specifications complete with version history, submission frequency specifications and payment mechanism. Indicators can be monitored from a comprehensive library of reports. Commissioners can also predict performance and expenditure using historic practice data. Contract providers can choose to opt-in and out of services. The platform enables mid-stage reviews and Q&A between ICBs and providers.
Submit, Monitor & Approve: Functionality to enable data upload and submission onto Ardens Manager allowing users to monitor and visualise performance and assign reports and tasks. Aggregated data and benchmark provider activity can be monitored at any stage during the contract lifetime. Data uploads and evidence of contract work can be submitted to the ICB for approval. All stages of submission, approval and payment can be tracked.
Sign: Functionality to allow electronic signatures in line with agreed contracts.
