East London NHS Foundation Trust's (ELFT) approach to quality improvement is deeply rooted in data to understand the opportunities and test the impact of interventions. When ELFT embarked on a strategy to enable data-driven decision-making closer to the point of care, it chose Microsoft's Intelligent Data Platform including Azure Synapse Analytics and Microsoft Power BI. Get the story to learn from ELFT's experience powering quality improvements and making real-world impacts on patient care with Power BI and Microsoft Azure.
How is ELFT using data to improve patient care?
ELFT is leveraging data through tools like Power BI and Microsoft Azure to create a more integrated healthcare system. By making data accessible in real-time, clinicians can analyze trends and metrics, allowing them to make informed decisions that directly impact patient care. This data-driven approach encourages staff to ask questions and explore ways to improve services based on insights gathered from the data.
What role does Microsoft Power BI play in ELFT's strategy?
Microsoft Power BI has been instrumental in transforming how ELFT accesses and utilizes data. It provides a single platform for real-time data visualization, enabling staff to quickly analyze information without needing specialized skills. This has streamlined processes, reduced the time spent on audits, and facilitated discussions among clinicians, ultimately leading to more effective patient care.
How is ELFT addressing the technology skills gap?
ELFT is focusing on developing internal talent by utilizing Microsoft’s training programs, such as the Enterprise Skills Initiative, to help staff become certified in cloud technologies. This approach not only enhances the skill set of existing employees but also makes it easier to recruit new talent familiar with Microsoft solutions, thereby addressing the technology skills gap effectively.
