In order to improve population health, new or improved interventions are constantly being deployed to patients. We need to quickly understand the impact of these interventions – at an individual, cohort and system level – to inform future planning and investment decisions.
Arden & GEM‘s strategic data and analytics platform, Athena, includes a tool which enables clinicians and operational managers to assess the impact of any given intervention using our linked patient data model.
Athena Rapid Evaluation provides the automated analytics needed to undertake evaluation at pace, at scale and in cycles across a range of amenable interventions including telehealth, social prescribing, diabetes education and rehabilitation services.
Our patient-level linked data model is structured into an analysis ready format to allow the quantification of ‘pre’ and ‘post’ intervention reliance on the health and social care system compared to a control group. Reports are made available on the impact of interventions on agreed outcomes with analysis at a local, system, regional or policy level.
The benefits of Athena Rapid Evaluation:
- Clinical and operational managers have the ability to evaluate the impact of any intervention delivered to patients
- The impact of delivery on finances, pathways and health outcomes can be better understood
- Resources can be invested in those interventions with the greatest impact and offering the best value
- Decisions are aligned to the Triple Aim duty
- State-of the-art research techniques and methods are used so that evidence is constantly updated.
Athena Rapid Evaluation enables health and care systems to quickly understand the impact of interventions to support decision-making which continually improves outcomes and reduces inequalities for their population.

Developing outcomes and performance dashboards to improve patient care
Arden & GEM worked with MSE services to develop value frameworks and outcomes measures for six key areas of care in which stewardships groups were established.
Maximising the impact of social prescribing through a case-finding tool using machine learning
Arden & GEM’s Advanced Analytics Unit has developed a case-finding tool, based on a machine learning model, to enable social prescribers to proactively target patients in advance of a GP referral.
Supporting patients in BLMK to better manage their diabetes through an early warning system
Arden & GEM’s Advanced Analytics Unit has created a diabetes early warning system that not only provides near real-time population-level data and benchmarking but also identifies patients with unmet needs for proactive interventions.
Developing bespoke population health dashboards for NHS Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes ICB
When NHS Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes (BLMK) ICB needed population health comparator and benchmark information at a place, PCN and GP practice level, Arden & GEM’s business intelligence team set about developing a new suite of dashboards.
