The product is logical to use and is ideal for anybody wishing to ensure that they are achieving maximum efficiencies within their data management and analytical functions”

improved thanks to the provision of accurate information at our fingertips,” says the Trust’s CIO Nick Elliott. “We have significantly reduced our risk in this area.”
What are the benefits of working with Insource?
The largest cost of a BI project is typically the manpower element. Insource Health BI reduces the human resources factor related to the data warehouse by as much as 80% - thereby reducing the overall project cost. In order to deliver true value to the Healthcare organisation Insource Health BI is able to leverage existing IT resources and infrastructure to speed time to results, lower cost of ownership, minimise risk, and maximise return on investment.
Reduce Costs
Once implemented, Insource Health BI requires little or no manual intervention. The processing of data from source to report becomes entirely automated. This results in the
- Elimination of the chained together, manual processes required to produce output from data.
- Elimination of the repetitive manual processes to reproduce the same reports time and time again.
This means that the numbers of staff can be redeployed to roles more beneficial to the trust.

Eliminate patient errors
Due to its innovative design, and utilisation of technology, Insource Health BI provides a platform for the improvement in data quality. It incorporates automated processes for checking data quality every time data is loaded, with automatic notification of exactly where data quality issues exist.
The resulting improvement in data quality reduces the huge cost associated with processing poor quality data and leaves staff to focus their efforts where they can be most effective.

Insource Health BI reduces the need production of paper reports by replacing them with on-screen analytics. Interactive questions can be asked of these reports to derive better, more accurate and timely information.
