Displays both live demand and capacity data to inform decision making
Reduces lengthy wait times for patients through efficient patient flow
Identifies growing pressure by speciality and sub speciality
The maximisation of resources and improvement of patient flow allows for earlier treatment for patients
SHREWD Elective transforms complex data from multiple systems and providers to provide a strategic overview of demand and capacity across all elective care pathways at trust level, across an entire ICS or more widely at regional or national level.
SHREWD Elective takes complex digitised data from all NHS elective care providers across a geographical footprint, including independent sector partners, and creates instant, whole-system visibility of demand and capacity in planned care. SHREWD Elective provides front line teams and operational leaders a real time view of pressure across multiple providers or services.
SHREWD Elective provides a single version of the truth, that identifies growing pressure in planned care by speciality and sub speciality level, supporting system wide response efforts, in line with the vision of centralised elective care hubs, that enable integrated and tactical response efforts to resolve excess waits and delays; improving flow and offering safer, more effective care for patients.
The dashboard compiles complex data, taking account of different local operating practices and data systems, producing a clear visual guide of pressure. SHREWD Elective highlights pressure in specialty pathways and opportunities for improvement to meet both short and long-term demand. This real-time data is displayed in a simple heatmap, making it easy to quickly identify areas of pressure and capacity available, and allow users to drill down to view precise causes of pressure, within a few clicks.
