Case Study: North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust achieves real-time patient reporting with Yellowfin

North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust delivers real-time patient reporting with Yellowfin Present

North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust, a UK hospital and community services organization, needed a better way to manage monthly reporting and share real-time patient information across wards. Its spreadsheet-based dashboards and paper/whiteboard updates were slow, manual, and error-prone, and only a few staff could use the existing BI tools effectively. The Trust chose Yellowfin, including its reporting and data storytelling capabilities, to make analytics easier for non-technical users.

Yellowfin helped the Trust automate data flows, replace spreadsheet reporting, and build narrative-driven board papers and ward presentations with Yellowfin Present. The result was a smoother, less stressful reporting process, with the BI team saying Yellowfin now handles about 90% of reporting work and cuts analysts’ manual effort to the remaining 10%. The Trust also created a 40-page board pack in Yellowfin and began delivering near real-time, area-specific patient updates on hospital screens, improving information flow for staff and visitors.
