Case Study: Newham University Hospital NHS Trust achieves £128,000 annual cost savings and instant, flexible reporting with Qlik

Instant, Flexible Reporting Means Dramatic Cost Savings For Newham

Newham University Hospital NHS Trust is a 379‑bed acute trust serving Newham’s 240,000 residents and nearby boroughs. Faced with a fast‑changing, diverse population, the Trust needed much quicker, more flexible decision‑making than its monthly board reports allowed—report compilation was slow and costly (one staff member spent a full year producing the 12 reports) and could not support immediate responses to issues like missed appointments or sudden pressure on operating theatres.

The Trust implemented QlikView’s in‑browser dashboard, giving over 100 users instant, visual access to real‑time KPIs with minimal training and the ability to build bespoke applications. The result was dramatic: reporting effort fell to a quarter of the previous time, costs were roughly halved (estimated savings about £128,000 a year), KPI performance improved, and clinical teams can now respond rapidly to operational changes.
