Channel 3 worked with a London Mental Health Trust to support the Trust in procuring a new IT outsourcing solution which allows their staff to work more flexibly and efficiently; enabling them to divert healthcare provision out of hospitals and into the community.

Management reporting system

Channel 3 engaged with an Acute Trust to develop a management and executive dashboard driven from a data warehouse. Taking information from various clinical systems and working with the Trust's executive team we modelled a dashboard capable of prioritising KPIs and quality indicators, transforming data in to "One Truth" health intelligence.

Patient Administration System (PAS) capability assessment

A Foundation Trust had been developing their own Patient Administration (PAS) system in-house for several years. Although, functionally it was supporting the Trust's current needs they wanted independent advice on their longer term PAS strategy.

Programme management for Trust information programme

Facing significant financial challenge, this inner-city Foundation Trust appointed Channel 3 to support the launch of an ambitious and comprehensive transformation programme. One of the programme's five work streams was the delivery of an electronic patient record solution.

Programme assurance

This teaching Foundation Trust hospital in the North East of England employed Channel 3 to undertake a review of their IT infrastructure in readiness for implementation of an electronic patient records programme.

IM&T strategy

Channel 3 worked with an Acute Trust in the North of England to produce an IM&T strategy which supported their Foundation Trust application.

IM&T vision and strategy

A leading Foundation Trust required an IM&T strategy to support its business objectives and impending new hospital build. The Trust looked to advance technology and streamlined operational systems to meet the demands of a 21st century hospital.

Transforming Community Services

A social care and mental health Foundation Trust required strategic support, across its local health community, to manage the transition of community services into the organisation. Channel 3 engaged with the Trust to develop a high level plan for the transfer of services from three local PCTs.
