With tight NHS budgets, how can you deliver meaningful digital transformation without breaking the bank? It’s a challenge every Trust faces: balancing innovation with financial realities. Yet, as the Health Foundation points out, we don’t always need new technologies - what we need is better use of what we already have. Improving your data quality with workflows allows for better use of existing Electronic Health Records and other IT systems, leading to significant time and cost savings. Cutting costs while increasing operational efficiency is possible - and we’re here to show you how. Get in touch to see how we can help reduce inefficiencies in your Trust. #CostReduction #NHSBudget #DataQuality #EHROptimisation #DigitalEfficiency

Data quality is the foundation of informed decision-making, but it’s only the beginning. The real question isn’t just how clean is your data? but how are you using it? At 7xData, we believe your data holds untapped opportunities to deliver greater value—beyond compliance and operational efficiency. By refining not just the quality, but the usability of your data, we can help you uncover hidden insights, innovate workflows, and even identify new revenue streams. Imagine turning accurate datasets into: • Predictive analytics that streamline patient pathways. • Insights that improve resource allocation. • Models that reveal growth opportunities or cost-saving measures. Data shouldn’t just inform—it should inspire action. Let us help you transform your datasets into a strategic asset that drives measurable results. Are you ready to unlock your data’s full potential? #DataQuality #DataInnovation #HealthcareTransformation #DigitalHealth #HealthTech #PredictiveAnalytics #DataDrivenDecisions

On National Espresso Day, let’s talk about how data quality is just like crafting the perfect espresso: Precision matters: Just as a barista carefully grinds beans, we must meticulously refine our data Concentration is key: Like an espresso’s intense flavor, high-quality data delivers powerful insights Consistency creates excellence: Every great espresso shot requires repeatable technique - same goes for data management Invest in your data “brewing” process. Clean, accurate data is your competitive advantage - treat it with the same passion a master barista treats their espresso machine! #DataQuality #BusinessIntelligence #NationalEspressoDay

Data is the lifeblood of modern healthcare, driving decisions at every level – from patient care to organisational strategy. But what happens when data quality is compromised? The costs, both financial and reputational, can escalate rapidly, especially in organisations like NHS Trusts or private healthcare providers, where high-stakes decisions depend on accurate, reliable information. Here’s a look at the true cost of poor data quality at each workflow touchpoint. Touchpoint 1: Data Entry The Issue: A pathology report contains missing or inconsistent patient demographics, requiring 15 minutes to validate and correct. Time Cost: Approximately £10 per correction, assuming a Band 3 admin earning £20k p.a. Touchpoint 2: Data Aggregation The Issue: Data from multiple lab systems are merged to create a single patient view. Inconsistent formats or missing fields delay the process. Time Cost: £100 per case, based on a Band 6 Data Analyst earning £40k p.a. Touchpoint 3: Data Integration The Issue: Linking multiple datasets across systems uncovers duplicate or conflicting records, requiring manual reconciliation. Time Cost: £500–£1,000 per dataset, depending on staff seniority. Touchpoint 4: Reporting and Analytics The Issue: A Board-level report is delayed because inaccurate data skew the results, requiring recalibration. Time Cost: £2,000+ when considering the involvement of senior analysts and managers. Touchpoint 5: Local Decision-Making The Issue: A Trust allocates resources based on flawed data, leading to overstaffing in one area while under-resourcing another. Time Cost: £10,000+ in wasted labour and productivity losses. Touchpoint 6: National Decision-Making The Issue: Data submitted for national statistics is flagged for inconsistencies, delaying policy development. Time Cost: £50,000+ in direct staff costs and delayed policy benefits. Poor data quality doesn’t just drain resources – it erodes trust. NHS Trusts, ICSs, and private healthcare providers need reliable data to optimise care, comply with regulations, and maintain stakeholder confidence. Fixing data issues early, and investing at the earliest stage, can prevent downstream costs of thousands – or even millions – at later touchpoints. Improving data quality isn’t just about technology – it’s about strategy. By addressing issues at their source and implementing robust workflows, organisations can save time, money, and reputation.
