Hertfordshire & West Essex ICB

“Ardens Clinical and Ardens Manager have helped our ICB commission services from primary care and supported our practices to deliver services to the groups who will most benefit from care.

We have commissioned Ardens in our organisation for over 5 years and Ardens Manager since it has been developed. These have helped us to improve the quality of information in primary care, through better coding, identify and manage patients more effectively, through centrally developed searches and templates, and report on key information on patient groups, through Ardens Manager dashboards.

Ardens Clinical and Ardens Manager allow us to create more consistency in the services that we commission from primary care. But they also allow us, and our local practices, to understand more about our population. This in turn means that we are able to prioritise care and services that will have the greatest impact which will improve the health of our local population. Ardens Clinical and Ardens Manager are a crucial set of tools for both our practices and the ICB.”
