The HIOW population health analytics service develops and manages the HIOW population health management platform. This provides a linked data set of primary and secondary care data and analytical tools to enable system-wide adoption and implementation of a population health approach.

The platform has five interactive dashboards which can be used to analyse and understand the needs of the population and identify those most at risk of ill-heath to enable targeted interventions and actions to improve outcomes and patient-centred care.

The platform also provides a self-service tool which allows users to carry out their own analysis of data held in the platform to better understand population needs and identify cohorts of patients for targeted interventions.  
The service supports identified priority programmes through specific analysis of population health data. It also produces a range of useful population overviews at whole system and place level.  

The team works collaboratively with system partners to develop further functionality and analytics within the population health platform to support priority transformation programmes and initiatives.

They provide training and support for platform users and work to encourage further adoption of the platform by clinicians, analysts, commissioners and system partners.
