From insight to action across the system

Kensa Analytics turns health data into shared evidence, helping leaders see what is changing, agree where to focus and act before pressure builds.

The challenge health leaders face

Across health systems, leaders are making high-impact decisions with data that can be fragmented across providers, retrospective in format and interpreted differently across organisations.

Leaders are left asking:

Is this real pressure or normal variation?

Where should we intervene first?

What happens if demand shifts again next week?

How do we know whether change is working?

When demand is volatile and capacity is constrained, earlier insight and shared evidence matter.

Who we work with

What Kensa Analytics Does

Kensa Analytics brings pathway data, consistent analytical method and operational modelling into one decision platform, helping health teams move from reviewing performance to deciding what to change.

Link the pathway

Connects datasets across providers and settings to reconstruct the patient journey end to end.

Standardise the method

Applies SPC, shared definitions and consistent logic across organisations.

Move insight into operations

Gives clinical, operational and analytical teams access to insight they can use directly.

Forecast what happens next

Uses time-series modelling to understand future demand, flow and performance.

Test change before you commit

Creates a ‘do nothing’ baseline, tests interventions and estimates likely impact.

Quantify cost and value

Links activity, outcomes and patient-level cost data to support stronger investment decisions.

How the platform fits together

One core analytical engine. One Health Insights platform. Multiple pathway modules. A consistent cost and value layer.

‍

Core analytical engine

Integrates and structures data, applies SPC and time-series modelling, and enables deep-dive analysis, forecasting and scenario modelling.

Health Insights platform

The system-wide platform for ICBs, providers and operational teams, supporting planning, commissioning, performance management and decision-making.

Cost and value layer

Links activity, outcomes, capacity and patient-level cost data so modules can show both service impact and financial impact.

Used across multiple providers, ICBs and regional NHS teams

Works across organisations, enabling shared understanding and coordinated action at scale.

The Health Insights Platform

Health Insights is Kensa Health Analytics’ system-wide decision support platform for ICBs, providers and operational teams.

It links data across pathways, applies a consistent analytical method and helps leaders identify high-need cohorts, benchmark variation, forecast pressure and track outcomes against plan.

Built as the foundation for our pathway modules, Health Insights gives health systems one scalable platform for planning, commissioning, performance management and operational decision-making.

‍

One platform.
Multiple pathways.

Health Insights is built around pathway modules, focused analytical views for specific areas of care.

Flow, urgent care and capacity

Understand demand, capacity and flow across urgent care, ambulance handover, secondary care, critical care and diagnostics, helping teams see pressure earlier and plan capacity with more confidence.

Planned care and productivity

Analyse referral demand, waiting lists, theatres, diagnostics and elective recovery, helping teams identify constraints, model recovery options and improve productivity.

Community, social care and care closer to home

Connect community services, adult social care, continuing care, virtual wards and workforce planning to test whether out-of-hospital investment is reducing acute demand.

Mental health, maternity and population pathways

Apply the same analytical method across mental health, talking therapies, maternity, screening, medicines and prescribing to understand access, outcomes, variation and population need.

Strategic planning and system configuration

Support capital planning, workforce, resourcing, population health and inequalities by modelling future demand, capacity requirements and service configuration options.

Built for people making system decisions

Health Insights gives system, provider and operational teams the same evidence base, shaped around the decisions they need to make.

ICB and system leaders

For leaders who need system-wide visibility, confidence in investment decisions and evidence that transformation is delivering outcomes.

Trust and provider leaders

For COOs, Medical Directors and operational leaders who need clearer grip on demand, capacity, variation and performance.

Operational, clinical and analytical teams

For teams who need fast answers, trusted data and practical tools to understand what is changing and where to act.

From pathway insight to better decisions

Kensa Health Analytics helps teams move from understanding what is happening to deciding where to act, what to change and how to measure impact.

Where should we act first?

Identify the pathways, cohorts and variation driving pressure.

What happens if nothing changes?

Forecast future demand, flow and performance using current trends.

What will change deliver?

Model the likely effect on activity, capacity, outcomes and cost.

How do we prove impact?

Track outcomes against plan and build a stronger financial case.

Designed to be adopted, not just deployed

Kensa Health Analytics supports system-level adoption, not just platform access.

We work with teams to align priorities, onboard data and users, configure models around priority pathways and embed a shared analytical method across strategic, operational and clinical decision-making.

  • Structured onboarding across data, users and priority use cases
  • Integration with existing data sources and governance arrangements
  • One shared method across system, provider and operational teams
  • Analyst support for modelling, interpretation and capability transfer

Secure, controlled and NHS-ready

Built for complex NHS data environments, with governance and controls designed for operational use at scale. Supported by ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus and DSPT compliance.

Dedicated customer environments

Customer data is held in segregated environments, with clear separation between organisations and controlled access.

Pseudonymised by design

Data is pseudonymised and linked at ingestion, supporting analysis while reducing exposure of identifiable information.

Role-based access controls

Users only see what they need, with permissions built around roles, responsibilities and least-privilege principles.

Governed data handling

Data ingestion, validation, change control and release processes are managed through defined governance arrangements.

No direct database access

End users access insight through the platform, not the underlying database, reducing risk and protecting the data model.

Resilient and assured

Backup, monitoring, vulnerability scanning and penetration testing support a secure, reliable service for NHS use.

Evidence of SPC adoption is emerging in urgent care, but it is not yet embedded across the pathway

Statistical Process Control is starting to take hold in parts of the urgent and emergency care system, however, this progress remains uneven.

Using System-Wide Insight to Support Care Closer to Home

Canterbury used system-wide operational intelligence to understand demand, variation and patient flow across the whole pathway. The work helped support care closer to home, faster evidence-led decisions and reduced pressure on hospital services.

Demand is rising as the Health and Care model changes

Community providers are adopting neighbourhood-based care while facing rising demand from earlier discharges, complex needs, and GP pressures.
