About this talk

Finance staff are used to handling data, but do we really understand the power of the information that the NHS collects and how it can be used by the NHS finance profession? In this webinar, David Sgorbati will set out what health analytics is and how it can be used to better understand our populations. Descriptive analytics helps us to see trends and analyse current health needs. Whereas predictive analytics supports planning and the allocation of future resources. Underpinning all of this is the need to understand what causes the activity and the trends, so that we can be proactive in our approach to delivering care. Through a mix of theory and practical examples, David will describe how finance teams across the UK can make better use of the data available to them.
