ICS Intelligence Platform

ICS Intelligence Platform

A dynamic solution for understanding the shifting NHS ICS landscape, providing clarity on the complex organisational changes, highlighting key business shifts and guiding teams on regional healthcare challenges.

Supercharge your NHS transformation expertise

The development of Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) is the largest NHS reorganisation for a decade. This change aims to improve healthcare provision by integrating traditionally siloed services but comes with major organisational challenges. Significant complexity results; both in real-time changes as the NHS makes this transition, and how industry must adapt to how the NHS care will be organised, commissioned, and delivered.

This complexity is made simple by the ICS Intelligence Platform; helping clients educate their teams on the changes, identify new areas of need, and put in motion the actions to stay ahead of the game. 

Every angle covered

ICSs have multiple facets and will change much of how healthcare in the NHS operates. The ICS Intelligence Platform provides a holistic view drawing insights from the different aspects of ICSs that matter most to Life Science Industry customers.

The most up-to-date insights

With over 30 years of healthcare dataset expertise, IQVIA derives relevant and timely data insights utilizing fully GDPR-compliant OneKey data, gold-standard proprietary pharmacy data, and the best of open datasets – with insightful measures customers can rely on.

Visualise ICS coverage and size more clearly

As the NHS transitions to commissioning care at a regional level, the population served across care settings will increase to 1–5 million, providing additional opportunities and challenges for Life Sciences.

The ICS Intelligence Platform helps you understand how ICSs vary in population size and geographic position in England, enabling you to align your commercial organisation and promotional activity with individual ICS needs.

Demystify the ICS organisational composition

ICSs are not just one organization; they represent a collection of new bodies, partnerships, and committees designed to address the NHS Long Term Plans.

Leveraging IQVIA’s reference data, the ICS Intelligence Platform demystifies these, showing quickly how they connect and operate together. The platform covers:

  • Integrated Care Systems (ICS)
  • Integrated Care Boards (ICB)
  • Health and Wellbeing boards
  • Place-Based Partnerships
  • Primary Care Networks (PCN)
  • And more…

Determine the overall ICS healthcare capacity

As the NHS transitions to commissioning care at a regional level, this poses additional healthcare capacity challenges that have not been tackled in the NHS’s long history. Most facets of health will be integrated, with the entire patient journey considered; so knowing the entire healthcare capacity and strain of the region will be important.

The ICS Intelligence Platform provides insights to help you:

  • Understand population health needs across key indications
  • Build a view of elective and non-elective hospital activity levels
  • Understand the extent to which full operation of cancer services has been restored

Identify key priorities for the ICS

You need to find the right stakeholders and discover the system-wide priorities that matter most to an ICS to support impactful engagement opportunities, which resonate with the customer. This type of precision engagement requires answering the questions at hand, as well as proactively identifying new ones.

By using the ICS Intelligence Platform to extract insights into ICS strategic priorities, and connecting these with emerging ICS stakeholders, you can:

  • Find creative openings for engagement opportunities
  • Build a more precise engagement strategy, tailored to individual ICS needs

Highlight emerging ICS decision makers

With ICSs rapidly evolving and appointing new roles, it is critical to identify the emerging stakeholders in an ICS, at the right time to engage with. Through IQVIA’s proprietary OneKey database the ICS Intelligence Platform provides insights on verified ICS key decision makers, to help your commercial teams target their promotional activity to maximise effectiveness.

With over 1000 ICS-related HCPs identified at present, and hundreds added per month, the ICS Intelligence Platform provides the tools to engage with new decision-makers across roles:

  • Chairs and Board Members
  • CEO and C-Suite Officers
  • Managing Directors
  • Clinical Leads and Medical Directors
ICSs are the mechanism by which the UK Government intends to deliver on the ambitions of the NHS Long Term Plans.
