Big Data Analytics in Children and Young People’s Health Services
Reading Time: 2 minutes
The Challenge
The release of the Children and Young People’s Health Services (CYPHS) data set brings a number of challenges to health organisations. This release introduces new data items and values, alongside renaming of current data items and removal of obsolete data – a major challenge given the short timescale for mandatory submission.
As well as the new changes to the CYPHS, standard validation, data quality, and data entry into PAS goes alongside the successful submission of the new data items. On top of this, the data has to be submitted in XML format!
All in all – a lot of work for the various trusts in the industry. And different for each one due to different systems, staff and protocols.
With the September 1st deadline for a compatible extract looming it’s going to take a lot of resources in already overworked IT departments. CYPHS providers MUST begin submitting CYPHS data in accordance with the new information standard from the 1st October.
Panic stations?
It doesn’t have to be, thanks to “Big Data” analytics and the growing need for healthcare organisations to modernise their analytics software platform.
The Solution
CXAIR uses a ‘Google’ style search technology which indexes data sources from across the many systems in Acute, Mental Health and Community Trusts (the CYPHS data extract being a prime example), bringing it into one searchable place.
Moreover, the extraction and data validation process is automated after initial setup. Data validation and derivation rules are applied to analyse data quality and completeness. Data Quality reports identify and locate specific data quality issues. Reports are fully automated and provide alerts when locally defined data quality thresholds are breached providing authorised users the time to address and improve data quality.
Data captured in CXAIR can then be exported in XML which supports the mandatory submission requirements.
Why CXAIR?
The main benefits of using the CXAIR platform are:
- Automated data extraction process.
- Data quality and validation rules, with reports suggesting changes and optimisations to the organisation’s processes.
- Incredibly fast data extraction due to cutting edge search engine style ‘indexing’ technology.
- No cubes – search across all data at the same time.
- Vastly improves the speed of the process freeing up time and resources for CYPHS care providers.
- State of the art reporting and dashboards providing a ROI in a matter of days.
