NHS Federated Data Platform: Revolutionising healthcare operations
A unified system transforming operational efficiency and patient care.
When scheduling an operation, many factors need aligning: staff availability, hospital beds, medication, equipment, and other patients on the waiting lists. This used to be a complex puzzle, but now the NHS Federated Data Platform brings this information together to transform how staff access information, delivering faster and more co-ordinated care, expanding patient choice, and improving health outcomes.
The platform securely connects data that was previously stored in separate systems and provides healthcare professionals with valuable insights to support decision-making, reduce costs, and improve patient care. Healthcare staff can now securely access operational data without needing multiple logins. This allows teams to co-ordinate resources and people more efficiently.
It's a game-changer for me – it's helping me to do my job faster and more efficiently and has reduced my administrative burden.
Proven results
Connecting data through the NHS Federated Data Platform has already demonstrated significant improvements:
- Faster cancer diagnosis times
- Earlier treatment for thousands more patients
- Quicker discharge for patients ready to leave hospital
Looking ahead
By connecting local organisations, the NHS Federated Data Platform will help healthcare services better understand community health needs, prevent illness more effectively, and manage resources more efficiently.
