Ardens simplifies and streamlines the local contract management process by providing a true end-to-end solution for primary care commissioning, starting with data entry through to submissions and payment.
Together, Ardens Clinical and Ardens Manager bridge the gap between ICBs, PCNs and GP practices, improving efficiency and effectiveness so you can get the most out of your primary care contracts.
✘ Time-consuming processes
Managing local contracts manually can be very labour-intensive and complicated, requiring significant time and effort from both commissioners and providers.
✘ Difficulty identifying areas of incentivisation
Without easy access to comprehensive data, it can be challenging to understand population health needs and pinpoint specific areas where incentives can be applied to improve performance and health outcomes.
✘ Inaccurate data submissions
Manual data entry and outdated processes can lead to errors, resulting in inaccurate or unreliable data submissions that affect your contract management and reporting.
✘ Poor visibility of performance throughout the year
Without real-time tracking and insights, it's difficult to monitor contract performance and compliance consistently, leading to potential gaps and inefficiencies.
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.”
