Waiting list validation – to clarify true demand
To effectively plan for elective recovery trusts need an accurate understanding of the true demand for care across all services, across all locations, across all specialties. With over 20 year’s expertise, at Insource we can validate all waiting lists from RTT, non RTT, cancer and any follow ups to give you an accurate foundation on which to deploy stretched resources, set achievable capacity planning targets, ensure efficient financial management and above all improve performance.

Validate true size of waiting lists
The elective backlogs are huge and most of this data is in old databases or spreadsheets with little or no way to validate the entries without vast manpower resources. At Insource we can validate this error-prone source, highlight broken pathways and ‘lost to follow up’ patients, and ensure hospitals are treating the right patient at the right time.
Spot clinical priorities and long waiters
By automating data quality checks and unifying the data, using Patient Pathway Plus (PP+) during the validation process, clinical priorities such as cancer patients and long waiters can be easily spotted and urgently progressed to avoid patient harm.
Complete view of demand and bottlenecks
We cover the full range of waiting lists including RTT, non RTT, cancer and follow ups… to give complete view of the problems faced across the service. Bottlenecks in staffing, diagnostics etc. can be identified and actions put in place for an effective long-term recovery.
Holistic view of Inpatient, Outpatient and diagnostics waiting times
While reducing diagnostic waiting times is key to bringing down Referral to Treatment (RTT) lists, activity here creates a knock-on effect thoughout the hospital such as in inpatients, day cases and outpatients. You need a holistic view of all waiting times if recovery is truly to be achieved.

Board assurance on accuracy of data
With so much visibility on NHS Boards to ensure a swift recovery and deploy funds effectively, giving your senior management the confidence that the extra services you are requesting will produce the expected improvement is critical. Insource delivers the data confidence your Board needs.
Post-project data quality automation
Whilst it is essential to clean waiting list data to ensure an effective recovery, we can also help you keep your data clean. Insource can automate the validation of data from all your source systems and unify it into a single source of the truth for automated PTL Reporting and trust-wide data management.
