Ridgian build BI and SharePoint platform for the NHS

Ridgian were recently selected by the CBSA to deliver their Business Intelligence platform for the reporting of Commissioning information hosted within a SharePoint portal.

 

About CBSA

 

CBSA supports Primary Care Trusts in facing the challenge of meeting the commissioning agenda in a focussed and innovative way: ensuring the delivery of improvements in patient care and outcomes across the region. They develop the right tools to gain a better understanding of the patient journey and experience locally and regionally so as to equip Primary Care Trusts and GP commissioners with the information and data necessary to make more informed decisions about how they commission services.

 

From the 1st April 2007, 17 Primary Care Trusts in the West Midlands came together to form the Commissioning Business Support Agency to provide:

 

Accurate and timely contract management information for both Practice-Based Commissioners and PCTs to manage secondary care contracts more effectively

 

Direct management support in negotiation and dealing with secondary care providers

 

Supports the work of co-ordinating PCT’s and world class commissioning in the West Midlands

 

Provides acute activity and spending by Practice to support PBC

"This was a fantastic strategic win for us and great to understand that we were chosen by the CBSA based on our track record of the delivery of first class BI solutions and not necessarily a background in NHS alone" comments Jason Betteridge, Managing Director of Ridgian.


Why the CBSA selected Ridgian

 

Ridgian, the Information Management Experts were engaged by CBSA due to our strength in data management borne out of a 10 year background of delivering Analysis and Reporting to Financial Services organisation such as Barclays bank. Our ability to understand data sources and very quickly turn this into meaningful decision making capability was a key factor. The depth and breadth of our knowledge and experience also played a part given that the CBSA solution encompasses a number of Microsoft technologies in the Business Productivity area.

 

The solution

 

The current reporting solution used by the CBSA is gradually being replaced by the CBSA using a strategic Microsoft BI and analytics platform, including :

 

SQL Server data warehouse
Integration Services (SSIS)
Analysis Services (SSAS)
Reporting Services (SSRS)
Excel Services

 

The information delivery platform for users is a Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) portal.
