The Health Informatics Team began background work for the project nearly three years ago when they received their first Alteryx licence from Continuum.

Alteryx is a data analytics platform that allows organisations to automate and streamline the way they manage data without the need for code.

Assisted by Continuum, Health Informatics used the software to standardise data across the department making it easier to access, analyse, and interpret. This data can then be used within the health service by clinicians, management, or shared with the public, like the regular updates on bed occupancy issued during the covid-19 pandemic.

“There is so much data across Health coming in different forms, from different sources, we needed a tool that could help us standardise it, and bring it together to make it accessible for everyone," Sam Lempriere, Management Executive Support Lead for the Government, said.

"Alteryx allowed us to automate the process, flagging up quality issues with the data so that we could build in fixes and make it useful to our decision makers. We are continuing to further automate and increase the frequency of our reporting cycles, helping make hospital data more meaningful and transparent than ever before.”

Continuum supplied Health Informatics with seven Alteryx licences, enabling the small team to automate their processes and speed up their regular data analysis. 

“We are delighted to have been able to assist the Government of Jersey in this project to help transform data reporting for health services in the Island," Dan Hare, Managing Director, Continuum, said.

"By embedding Alteryx into its processes, Jersey’s Health Department can manage its data more efficiently and accurately, harnessing the power of the latest technology to progress its digital transformation."
