The Midlands Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (MPFT) has chosen Agilisys to support its digital strategy.

The new partnership will see the organisations work to deliver a roadmap to inform the Trust’s decisions around migrating data into cloud, including what the structure of the data environment needs to look like.

This is supported by the re-platforming of the Trust's data and analytics capabilities, using Microsoft's Power BI business analytics platform, to provide flexible, intuitive tools for reporting and evidence-based decision making.

Activities are being co-ordinated by MPFT, with Agilisys staff supporting, providing training and consulting where required to ensure the effective transition to Power BI.

The work will enable the Trust to have a single business intelligence tool that will propagate across MPFT, to be used not just by the Business Intelligence team, but by everybody, with different skill levels across the organisation.

"This work is a fundamental part of our vision for the organisation to be making informed decisions based on the data that we hold. It will improve patient care and ensure our services meet the needs of our populations,” said Peter Newton, associate director of information and contracting at MPFT. “The COVID-19 pandemic, for example, disproportionately impacted certain demographics, meaning the need for visibility over data is even more imperative.”
