Data can be uploaded either manually (via aggregated CSV extracts) or automatically (via strategic reporting extracts) onto Ardens Manager. The automatic upload process covers the following steps:


1. Pseudoanonymised, record-level data is extracted automatically from your clinical system and uploaded into Ardens Manager.

2. Data is processed using the report rules and output values are returned to the dashboard.


What are the benefits of Automatic Uploads?

  1. Close to real-time data: Automatic uploads are completed daily meaning you always have the most up-to-date information to hand. 
  2. Save time: The process significantly reduces administrative work by removing the need to build and run reports from your clinical system. It also saves time collating data into a meaningful and focused dashboard.    
  3. Better accuracy: The Ardens Manager report builder has more advanced and flexible functionality than most reporting platforms. This allows more complex reports to be built with a greater level of accuracy such as those within NHS contract business rules.
  4. Advanced reporting: By extracting data at the record level, Ardens Manager can provide advanced analytics, such as reporting on deprivation scores and further cohort analysis.
