Case Study: NHS England improves hospital safety with Wolfram Consulting Services

Improving Hospital Safety with Multiparadigm Operational Data Analysis

The NHS England, a major healthcare provider, faced the challenge of drawing actionable insights from 120 million fragmented and anonymized patient records stored across numerous disparate databases. This operational data was too complex and voluminous for traditional analysis methods to effectively utilize for improving patient safety and hospital workflows.

Wolfram Consulting Services implemented a solution using multiparadigm data science and the Wolfram Language to rapidly combine, clean, and analyze the records. In just ten days, the Wolfram team analyzed 1000 parameter pairings, uncovering unexpected but critical insights, such as a strong relationship between patient safety and nurse training levels. This provided NHS England with clear, actionable results to inform practical responses and improve hospital safety.
