Patchwork Insights has been really impactful at King’s. The data and insights unlocked through the extensive range of dashboards has helped us improve decision making and challenge where appropriate to further drive agency spend down. Patchwork Insights was a key determination in our procurement of Patchwork and it’s great to see those benefits coming through

Site Director of FinanceFinally access the data you need to drive improvements in one place
Decisions are easier when they’re supported by data that everyone can see and actually use on a regular basis. Unlike other providers, we realise that data and reporting platforms must be intuitive.
That’s why we’ve built a system that replicates Excel where you need it, but with additional features to help you to interpret and act on the meaning behind the numbers.
With more staff engaging with your data, you get more transparency, more accountability and better outcomes.
Effectively communicate your full staffing picture
We’ve moved past manually aggregating figures from spreadsheets, so you can focus on taking action.
Patchwork Insights’ configurable dashboards provide 360 visibility of your workforce activities and costs. You can dig into the details of your staffing activities and spend at a local or regional level in one place, on demand (no add-on modules here).
We keep everything in system, so you never miss a report or lose sight of the data you need to drive improvements.
Monitor historical, current and future spending
With a detailed analysis of your financial performance, now you can easily identify areas of high spending, address the causes and reduce costs.
Better visibility of where your focus is most needed to regain financial control
One single source of truth enables more agile decision-making which drives growth and efficiency.
Our full suite of tailored, up-to-date dashboards means you never have to wonder where to focus your efforts to drive improvements. Understand the data behind higher and lower areas of activity and use that knowledge to boost cost efficiency and increase shift fill rates.
Report with ease and speed
Generate essential reports instantly and tailor data views with customisable templates. Share your findings effortlessly with key bodies like NHSEI, and securely access ICS-wide data – ensuring you’re always fully informed.
“The data coming from Patchwork Insights is set to change how we review our medical locum expenditure. Previously, we processed raw data through spreadsheets. Now, these visually appealing dashboards are the means by which each senior manager discusses their locum expenditure.”
