A proactive data-driven approach to population health management
Public health contract management
Ardens helps public health teams plan, manage and deliver services such as NHS Health Checks, smoking cessation, sexual health, LARC, and more.
With Ardens Manager, councils can streamline contract management, access tailored dashboards, and take a data-driven approach to tackling health inequalities.
Ardens Clinical, used by over 85% of GP practices in England, ensures consistent data collection through standardised templates and resources. This enables powerful, accurate reporting and insight for both providers and commissioners through Ardens Manager Public Health dashboards.
THE CHALLENGE
Managing the complexities of public health contracts
Data quality issues: Relying on provider submissions that may be inaccurate, include non-contractual activity, and overlook valuable insights such as demographic trends.
Operational inefficiencies: Managing multiple complex manual processes that consume significant time and resource, and vary widely across providers and contracts - leading to inconsistencies and administrative burden.
Budget planning challenges: Service planning and budget allocation become difficult without clear visibility into activity levels, payment data, and population health insights needed to optimise outcomes and value.
End-to-end contract management
Manage the entire public health contract process in a single platform, from drafting and signing specifications to monitoring activity and tracking payments.
Facilitating automated claims
Ardens Manager dashboards are automatically populated with near real-time data from EMIS Web and SystmOne, giving both commissioners and practices visibility of claims data and enabling a streamlined, automated claims process.
Track and manage budgets
Dashboards accurately reflect expected payments so commissioners can monitor budgets and providers can understand their projected income.
Demographic and deprivation filtering
Data can be segmented by age, gender, and deprivation scores, making it possible to identify health inequalities and target interventions more effectively.
