What is the Command Centre?

Command Centre is an NHS and Catalyst BI joint collaboration that has successfully reduced triage and discharge times.

It consists of 5 live-view wall-mounted touchscreens being fed with Ambulance, Emergency Department in/out, Live Bed State and Inpatient out live data streams, all interactive with drill down to patient level.

Command Centre enables rapid analysis for flow coordinators supporting and enhancing on-the-ground decision-making throughout the day.

GRANT ARCHIBALDCHIEF EXECUTIVE, NHS TAYSIDE
"The Command Centre enables our team working and excellent clinical and organisational skills to achieve even better experiences and outcomes for patients by providing the information necessary to facilitate this. Key statistics, metrics and graphs shared in one environment provide an immediate common understanding of the key dynamics of the hospitals."
DOUGLAS LOWDONCONSULTANT MEDICINE FOR THE ELDERLY AND ASSOCIATE MEDICAL DIRECTOR, MEDICINE DIRECTORATE, NHS TAYSIDE

"As a senior clinician focused on capacity and flow on a daily basis but also in a strategic context, the command centre concept is an invaluable tool.

JENNI WOODSBUSINESS INTELLIGENCE LEAD, NHS TAYSIDE
"People want to interact with it because of how it looks and functions. During the project, internal staff thought about how they were currently working, what the new tools could give them and how this would shape how they worked in future."
ROB O’NEILLHEAD OF INFORMATION, UHMBT

"The analytics are designed to be really intuitive. The clinicians have the ability within any of the analytical objects to drill down to a patient record level, which is a really important requirement."

 

How does the Command Centre Help?

The ability to see everything in one place; from ambulances en route to the hospital to individual patients being discharged, enabling clinicians to identify problems before they have occurred.

In addition, the predictive technology helps plan for future capacity issues before they even occur.

Implementing an analytical Command Centre at University of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust

Without live, up-to-date information it was difficult to spot themes that were causing delays in patient discharge. Similarly, it was hard to detect surges in walk-in patients or delays with ambulances. There were also challenges around having an holistic view of the current bed state across the Trust.

With Command Centre UHMBT now holds patient flow meetings every two hours, driven by information provided by the Command Centre. With that they are able to improve patient safety, patient flow and the overall effectiveness of the service they offer to patients.

“We’ve co-designed the solution with our clinical and operational colleagues and feedback tells us we’ve got a solution that’s making a positive impact to patient care.

Across the Trust one hundred hours are saved every day. This has meant the solution paid for itself in one month. In addition, by equipping ward managers with live, accurate data, patients being cared for in non-medical wards has dropped to 2%”
