The health and social care system is facing significant pressures due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Information and data are essential to deliver care to individuals, to support health and social care services and to protect public health. Information will also be vital in researching, monitoring, tracking and managing the outbreak.
At Telefónica Tech we are aware that NHS trusts and healthcare providers need to move fast to overcome challenges posed by the spread of the virus. In order to fight this pandemic, decision-makers need quick access to new information. This can involve data extracted from health and care environments, along with national and local datasets from external parties. Having all relevant data cleansed and modelled such that it is presented in a single place as a conformed data set provides the opportunity for better insight enabling advanced analytics and machine learning to be used. This will greatly assist the NHS and social care in determining which actions will provide greatest impact.
How can Telefónica Tech help?
In most cases, combining siloed data to uncover real-time, actionable insight would take months. However, the new Telefónica Tech Rapid Response Analytics solution will allows organisations to deploy a secure Azure based platform, ingest data from multiple sources, curate this data and produce clear reports through Power BI all within days.
Telefónica Tech have already helped NHS trusts to understand how the virus is spreading and the anticipated demand on health and care services by providing the analytics at a more localised granularity based upon the specific regional demographics and medical history of citizens within the NHS catchment area.
As a Microsoft consulting and advisory partner, we specialise in the development and deployment of Microsoft Azure Modern Data Platform, Data Warehouse and Data Science solutions. Our Rapid Response Analytics will meet your short-term needs but will also offer the opportunity for a strategic Data platform that can continue to evolve.
