SLAM SUS Analysis Module

The SUS analysis module loads all fields from SUS SEM & PbR into SLAM (Over 1000 Data fields). This data, together with your local SLAM data can be analysed, reported and compared. In just minutes you can spot the ‘needles in the haystack’, the events which differ between data sources. More importantly you can see how and why they differ at patient level.

 

In an ideal world there would only be one source of data, however this is not currently possible in the NHS. The SUS analysis module makes it quick and easy for you to spot the differences. All data sources are grouped and costed, allowing for comparison and analysis at spell or episode level.

SLAM’s PbR calculation engine is used throughout the NHS to provide accurate costs for national and local tariffs, PbR and non-PbR. It also manages your block contracts. The SUS analysis module ensures that SLAM provides the easiest and most powerful way to analyse your SUS data using the same solution resulting in analysts spending less time preparing and configuring and more time analysing.
