Analytics

Helping health and care teams turn data into clearer decisions

Kensa Health Analytics supports NHS and integrated care teams to bring data together, explore what is happening across pathways and use that insight to inform planning and operational decisions. It’s designed to help teams move from dashboards that show what, to analysis that helps explain why, using a consistent data model and role appropriate access.

Helping health and care teams turn data into clearer decisions

Kensa Health Analytics supports NHS and integrated care teams to bring data together, explore what is happening across pathways and use that insight to inform planning and operational decisions. It’s designed to help teams move from dashboards that show what, to analysis that helps explain why, using a consistent data model and role appropriate access.

Whether you’re planning services, improving flow, allocating resources or testing assumptions, analytics should help teams build shared understanding and take confident next steps.

Understanding pathways, demand and variation

Health and care systems generate large volumes of routine data, but that information often sits across multiple platforms and teams. Analytics is most useful when it brings data together into a single, consistent view of the patient journey, enabling teams to explore what is changing over time and where constraints may be emerging.

This approach supports structured exploration of pathways, demand and variation, helping teams ask better questions and build shared understanding across clinical, operational and planning functions. Access and governance are aligned to user roles, ensuring insight is available to the right people in a controlled and consistent way.

What we offer

Data integration and a consistent model

We help bring together relevant datasets and structure them into a consistent model that supports exploration over time.
Typical outputs include:

  • A single view of pathways and touchpoints
  • Time based analysis, backwards and forwards
  • Clear definitions and shared metrics
  • Role appropriate access and permissions

Exploratory analytics and insight

Analytics should make it easier to move from anecdote to evidence by exploring the contributory elements behind performance.
This can include:

  • Understanding variation and trends
  • Identifying where pressure accumulates
  • Cohort and pathway exploration
  • Supporting multidisciplinary discussion with shared data

Scenario testing and modelling

Where appropriate, analytics can support structured what if exploration, to help teams think through options before making changes.
This may include:

  • Capacity and demand scenarios
  • Pathway redesign exploration
  • Sensitivity checks on assumptions
  • Visual outputs to support review and decision making

Insight to support planning and improvement

Analytics can be used to support recurring planning and review processes, helping teams maintain a consistent evidence base over time.

This can include:

  • Supporting business cases and options appraisals
  • Informing service planning cycles
  • Tracking change over time
  • Providing a shared reference point for improvement work

Designed to be implementable, not theoretical

Analytics only adds value when it fits the way teams actually work. Our focus is on making insight accessible to the people who need it, in a format that supports planning cycles, operational reviews and improvement work.

We can support organisations to build internal capability too, through tailored training and practical support, so teams can develop confidence in how they explore data, interpret patterns and translate insight into actions.
