Healthsense

Sophisticated e-rostering solutions are maturing inside Trusts, happily generating rafts of incredibly useful data about staffing behaviours. This is important - it's not easy to see how well wards are adhering to new policies, or where opportunities for optimisation exist.

So how to sift through this and present a meaningful view to NHS Executives ? A fanfare please for Healthsense from Oceansblue - the first solution devoted to helping Trusts realise the maximum benefit from their e-rostering investment.

Healthsense has been designed using the latest and best visualisation technologies - using Microsoft's Silverlight Rich Internet Application (RIA) framework - meaning raw data can be transformed into elegant and simple screens. The result is actionable insight that's easy to work with.

Operating in "presentation" and "interactive" modes, visualisations are created and updated automatically, in line with the changing underlying e-Rostering, IMS and PMS datasets. This really suits the "Touchscreen wall-mounted LCD" scenario, or staff can also interact with the solution and control the visualisations on display, with simple to use filters.

It's a "mobile intelligence" compliant solution - the information travels with you; very useful to help share the results with Ward Managers. Presently, Healthsense measures over 25 key metrics around ward behaviour, and each can generate a "mayday" alert should a serious breach occur.
