Specific benefits include, (i) simplifying operational view of real-time regional pressures, (ii) standardizing reports across regions, (iii) reducing administration for reporting end users, (iv) promoting consistent and timely onward reporting, (v) providing data driven information for improved analysis, (vi) reducing interruption to operational activity by removing need to manually gather operational data, (vii) streamlining processes for the regional oversight body, (viii) enabling oversight of capacity and demand to inform conveyancing decisions in real time, (ix) improving patient safety and reduced patient risk, and (x) overall improvements to care for the population of the Midlands.
