Insight team – clinical and patient intelligence analysis and reporting

The multi-award-winning insight team capture clinical and patient intelligence for commissioners and providers. We offer service reviews, consultancy, training and access to our web-based patient experience and safety software for logging feedback. We collate, analyse and report on data in real time, triangulating evidence from multiple sources in one easy to use system.

The system allows you to record all types of patient experience feedback (including social media, Freedom of Information requests, and formal complaints), clinical feedback and corporate risk records. This information can then be used to identify priorities and take action, improving patient experience and delivering safer and higher quality services.

Triangulate health and care evidence from multiple sources

The Insight  system records all types of patient experience feedback (including social media, NHS Choices, media coverage, compliments, Freedom of Information requests, Subject Access Requests, MP letters, Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) and formal complaints); clinical feedback (including internal GP practice incidents, Serious Untoward Incidents and positive incidents) and corporate risk records.

Customers include clinical commissioning groups, GP practices, out-of-hours primary care providers, Healthwatch and voluntary sector organisations across the UK. We have more than 1000 active users of the Insight system, helping to improve services for patients and the general public.
