Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust builds cutting-edge data platform

Leeds Teaching Hospitals is one of the largest NHS Trusts in the country, treating 1.5 million patients every year, including more than 200,000 emergency patients attending A&E. Over 50 million pieces of information are created every month.

This data is at the heart of the Leeds Digital Way, the Trust’s vision for Digital IT, which is designed to ensure technology improves the day-to-day experience of its patients and staff and supports the delivery of world-class healthcare and research.

The NHS Trust is partnering with Agilisys to deliver a Data Platform Programme that supports the Trust’s ambition to create a digitally-enabled healthcare future.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for us to enhance our data analytics capability, harnessing the power of the Trust’s data to develop a state of the art, modern solution which improves care and efficiency, reduces risk and saves money,” said Guy Dickie, Associate Director of Digital at Leeds Teaching Hospitals. “Using our existing strong foundations, we have a once in a generation opportunity to revolutionise and scale our use of data.”

Hosted in the cloud on Microsoft Azure, the solution includes Microsoft’s Power BI and Synapse will be used to provide Leeds Teaching Hospitals with reporting and analytics services, providing tools for staff across the Trust to use for collaboration and to explore and exploit data.

Agilisys will work in partnership with the Trust to improve the quality of data, whilst establishing and embedding a Data Management Framework that supports the drive towards integrating data into every level of the organisation.
